You arrive before the gates under a low sky; the gravel crunches beneath the minibus as the complex stretches out like a place that remembers every footstep. The tour opens with that hush — rows of brick barracks, watchtowers, and the long rails that once led inward — and guides lead groups through a deliberate sequence of spaces designed for reflection.
