∙ 11y agoThe survivors are affected by, the horrors of what they same in the Holocaust. Like if you want to read something to show you the, gruesomeness of the Holocaust they experienced I recommend, the book, "Night" by, Elie Wiesel. He was a Survivor of the Holocaust and he was 15 when he saw his mother, 2 sisters and father die right in front of him. People who did survive the Holocaust sometimes do say that they wished they would've died because, what you saw there NEVER goes out of your mind.
More than likely traumatized

∙ 11y agoit was almost impossible for a suvivor not to be affected physically
Actually, it was impossible to not be affected physically. you got put into a concentration camp, you had to live on, in most camps, at most a crust of bread and soup every like week and two or three days. This led to gradual starve-to-death in many prisoners.

∙ 12y agoWell the affect of the Jews mentally for them is horrific. 99% of the Jews who survived the holocaust is serious badly traumatised from the horrors they witnessed and this wouldn't ever be forgetting for them and it stay in their heads forever
So the Jews never forget what happen and only a few are seriously affected from their experience

Are holocaust survivors Jews?
Yes, to be a Holocaust survivor one must have been a victim of the Holocaust, therefore by deffinition one would have to be Jewish.
Are there anymore survivors from the Holocost here in the US And if so where in the US do they live?
There are many survivors still around from the Holocaust. Any European Jew in his 70s or older would have been old enough to remember it.
How many holocaust survivors from the death camps are still alive?
Very few Holocaust survivors from the extermination concentration camps are still alive. Most of the survivors were males. And as no children below the age of 12 survived the camps, all survivors must have been born earlier than 1932. This would make the very youngest of them, 84 years old, as of 2015.
How were the lives of children of survivors changed by their parents' experiences?
Many children are very much traumatized about the whole situation. Even if they were born after the war, the talk would be bound to come up and everyone would be somehow effected by it; good or bad.I have not heard that children or grandchildren have been traumatised by the Holocaust, but this does not mean that they have not been affected by the Holocaust. Unfortunately no matter what a survivor does, he or she is going to show the effects of the Holocaust to those closest.Generally by compensating or overcompensating for something, if they do not tell their story, then that affect the people around them as much as telling the story. But for a child to then take this and put it onto the next generation is irresponsible.I am aware that institutionally Israel wants people to remember and if these feeling can somehow be kept alive, then it will keep the nation stronger against outsiders, but this is synthetic. It has been said that anyone who was not in the camps cannot understand what it was like. This is true enough, this is not the kind of effect that is passed down to the children, it is the effect of living with someone that has these memories and experiences, that is how the children are effected by the Holocaust. (You could consider it to be like Passover)
What are some ways American history has been affected by the experiences of people of ancient times?
by war or something
Does the Holocaust still go on?
the simple answer is yes - whilst there is still a survivor of the Holocaust alive, then it is still going on. He/she has to live with the experiences that they had, everything that they do, every relationship that they have will have been affected by their experiences, as everyone's past experiences affect them. Though the persecution has ended, its effects have not. It is really up to each person how they define these things, whether they consider the children to be affected by the parent's behaviour or not, but you will find in Holocaust theology that it is considered to be still going on.___The plain factual answer is no.

Are there any Holocaust survivors living in the US?
Many of them. If you visit a local holocaust museum, you can find talks that are given by survivors. I've been privileged to attend a couple of these. They are very moving and hard to listen to.

How has the Holocaust affected people who survived it?
The Holocaust has had a major lasting effect on survivors. The survivors will constantly ask why them? Why did they survive when so many others died? Their religion takes a huge toll as well, how can they believe in a God that would allow such unspeakable acts to happen? They have watched friends and family murdered, with none of their death/funeral customs allowed (some Jews would say the death prayer for themselves). In the words of a survivor 'Death would have been easier.'
Was the Holocaust before the Middle Ages?
Kept captive and forced to work. Slavery was part of the Holocaust, but the Holocaust was not part of slavery. Slavery has been around for thousands of years, it has been part of most cultures, and all of the larger ones. The Holocaust lasted only a few years and affected only Europe and only a few generations.
Who created a homeland for the Holocaust survivors?
It was not really created after the holocaust. Israel is more a country like the U.S. was just took longer to gain independence i.e. 1948 and from there on out the U.S. has been a major peace keeper in the area.
