Section 4

My question is how do victiums in the holocaust deal with their situation? "From the depths of the mirror a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me" (Wiesel 115). i picked this question because obviously surviors of the holocaust are traumatized, and i would like to know what exactly happens to them.

Many of the survivors who come out of the holocaust are obviously traumatized. they develop a form of depression called PTSD. some of the systems include images from the times of that particular experience, in this case the time of nazi germany and the final solution program of the holocaust. Children are more common to act out against the parents, and parents develop symtoms such as guilt and draw away from the children. Also adults feel that they experience feelings such as the need to escape reality, hide, or save others.
