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.

It must have been extremely difficult for the survivers to get back to normal life again. From all the constant beatings to just being set free, its almost like you don't know what to do with yourself. It also must have been hard to go back home. You would almost have to start over again, but for some they didn't have their families there to support them. The problems they developed after they were set free is just sad, because it is like they will never be truely free of the camps.
