Of course. Please nobody feel pressured or obligated to go. This is
something I've been considering for years and I'm only doing it in the same
trip as Wikimania for budgetary reasons. I plan to go regardless of whether
any other Wikimedians are going at the same time but thought I'd ask in
case others here had similar thoughts and would prefer to travel with
company.

Hi Everyone
I know you are all adults and free to decide on what you do, but I would
like to reiterate what I said when this first came to the fore;
*this is one place where it would be better to make yourown arrangements
as you[Harry] said it has a terrible history. This is oneplace that's best
left to the individual, I'm not even sure I wouldwant to share
experiencing that place with other people I dont know.On a personal level.
I'd hate to have to deal with a person who tookthe tour not knowing the
horrors of the place*
Wikimania is about having fun, learning new things, and sharing your
experiences.
Do not take the decision to go lightly, this is not some adventure into
history through the eyes of a curated museum. This is walking into a frozen
point of time where the worst depths of humanity you can ever imagine
prevailed.
I know everyone here enjoys reading, please take some time to read about
the experiences of others who have taken this journey, this is no happy
place, no place for a bit of fun. You are not being invited to hear a
story of the past, you are visiting a solem site that remains as and where
it was built to remind all who visit to bear witness to the horrors of man.
If you chose to do so, do it afterwards, after you have enjoyed Wikimania,
written your reports and filled in the surveys, because the COT & CEE don't
deserve that place to be colouring your thoughts about Wikimania.
