Whether it will be better depends on your audience. I would say no, you don't need to add emotion. On the other hand, you can if you want to and you believe that the emotion you add will be well received.

It depends.
If the essay is a persuasive essay arguing for compensation or retributions, then yes. If the essay is purely historical reporting, then no.
When you do that, it becomes about you and not about your topic. The reader resists. Flat description has great power. Be subtle. Use images, sounds, colors, trigger words, logic, etc. to create emotions in the reader instead of expecting him to assume yours.
