This... strikes me as an incredibly dangerous idea. They send everyone to the horrible disease pits? I'm imagining these are either viewed from afar or these visits are done under strict security and containment qualities.Well, every German student is required to visit the Berlin or Nuremberg Containment sties at least once, usually around 12 or 13 years old, so that sort of sets the stage.
(As an aside, going back to the post of why this TL "gets me," I've been to both Berlin and Nuremberg. Lovely cities. Saddens me to think this is what became of them.)
