Some people even convinced themselves that the Holocaust never happened.…

It has only been within the last 10 to 15 years that people have wanted to hear, but now many of the adult survivors have already passed away.”…

Viktor Frankl’s Insight into Meaning As Norman Cousins once preached, “The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live.” Although just the thought to address positive outcomes of the indisputable tragedy of the Holocaust can be a gruesome notion to grasp, historians have acknowledged that some societal contributions can be traced back to the atrocious era, such as extreme medical advancements and significant scientific discoveries. However, one positive outcome that is far overlooked is the psychological advancements that took place. Whereas the aforementioned notable effects have had a direct impact on millions of individuals worldwide, the direct impact of the repugnant experience on select individuals, such…
