Plan of investigation
In my investigation I will be looking at to what extent did the holocaust affect the survivors both mentally and physically upon return home from the concentration camps. I will be looking at books both present and from the time period that talk about how they felt and what happened when they got home. I will also surf the internet and find interviews with survivors look for articles and news papers from the time in order to get a better idea of what was going on for the survivors at the time. I will then compare and contrast the facts at hand and pull out and mix what is the same and look into the differences to come up with a final product that is factual and not biased. I will also opvl my sources used in order to …show more content…
As a result of this, Jews fled to Displaced person camps or also known as dp camps. Dp camps were controlled by the allied powers and by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. It was in Dp camps that the “UNRRA established the central tracing bureau to help locate relatives who survived the concentration camps”(ushmm displaced). Although survivors in the camps got used to the conditions and they started to make friends (ushmm);The camps were often bleak and crowded, “many of the camps were former concentration camps and German army camps”. This worsened the ptsd for the survivors and created crowded and unsanitary conditions for the survivors. Survivors often coped with their ptsd and sense of isolation, by trying to recreate the family aspect in their life as soon as possible. People started marrying and having kids almost instantly upon arrival to the displaced person camp. During this time food was often scarce and conditions were not suitable for a healthy delivery of a baby to the families. The babies were also often named after loss relatives in order to help fix their sense of isolation. Survivors “often felt guilty for many years [and feel like they] should have ran back …show more content…

This sense of isolation ended up greatly increasing the impact of the ptsd on the survivor and no one was there to help them deal with it so they were forced to figure it out on their own and deal with it with the most logical reasoning to that individual. Although the nations did just end world war 2 and all the nations were focused on rebuilding themselves rather than helping the people that were now searching for a home really needed a place to turn and have someone to truly help them out in a time of suffering like this. Although at concentration camps the unraas central tracing bureau did help some survivors find relatives and meet back up with them, it ended up hurting a lot of people because they ended up finding out who was dead and or missing and this worsened the ptsd even more. Their often questioning of why they are alive and why they didn't pull their loved ones closer and go with them created depression and regret to an extent that nowadays you would have to go see a counselor and figure these things out with them. This sense of isolation and the PTSD led to people scrambling to
