TripAdvisor review:
“It made me think a lot: This is a place you absolutely have to go to reflect on the war. For those who have never thought about the war before, I think this place will be what makes them begin to think about it. You should go at least once. You will think, from the bottom of your heart, that war is a heartbreaking thing.” –yo-pe-pa
