Not US but I feel it’s relevant. Burning the past is not the answer no longer how awful it is; we have to preserve history or else we’ll never learn from it.

It’s been used as a cafe/restaurant as well as a museum

i mean its a mountaintop kinda place where its far-ish so museum w/ food is wholly unsurprising, pretty normal

So I was there so I guess I can say my take on it. I think it’s kind of icky. They have a lot of displays talking about the Nazis, how it was used, and the labor used to make it. But it’s mostly like a “oooo pretty views” thing. I intentionally didn’t buy any souvenirs because that felt gross.

I want to know how the heck someone managed to burn the place down. You can only get there by tour bus, and then take either a manned elevator through a tunnel or a steep hiking trail.
