Yeah - I visited a concentration camp in Germany...
It actually changed my life, the way the guide explained everything...I remember when I left the tour, the camp, I just felt so relieved that I could go and have freedom and a happy life, because it sounded absolutely horrific! Although, I also felt like it was worth photographing, and I did take some photographs (I'm a professional Photographer), I mean it's a piece of history so there is definitely something there worth photographing!
I did feel quite deeply for what had happened in there.
Well...about being heartless, I think you didn't have a good Guide? Or maybe you were just numb and protecting yourself from thinking about it/ feeling about it? I think it would be kind of impossible to feel nothing, not even sympathy? But don't worry, it's not like u agreed with what happened in there, so you can't be heartless. With age and experience, you learn to empathize much more, and I think this will come in time!
Don't worry about it, and I hope you respect the honesty in my opinion!
