The surviving Jews were of course released from the concentration camps. Most tried to return to a normal life, but in many cases that didn't work out well at least in the short term.

AnswerThere were very few Holocaust survivors in the sense of prisoners still alive in camps. Most tried to go back to leading a normal life, but in Poland the "Christian" (sic) population continued to slaughter Jews in 1945-46. This was a key factor in encouraging many Jews to leave Europe, either for Palestine, where British rule was rapidly collapsing, or for the U.S.

The Holocaust has left very deep scars.

The Jews in Europe after the war were sent to other countries to start over. Most came to the United States (many had relatives there too), some went to England and a lot went to Israel. Some stayed in some of the countries like the Netherlands and Belgium and Sweden. The largest population of the Jews is in the USA because of their Immigration before, during and after World War 2. Israel has less Jews than the USA.

Immediately after the war was over the Allied Forces had to quarantine many of the surviving Jews of the camps because they had Typhus. So they treated them in the camps and any who managed to live were taken later to special refugee camps for the Jews and others. At the refugee camps they were given food, medicine, clothing and bedding. Specialists came to Europe to help them get relocated to other countries (Germany was pretty much leveled and could not handle helping the Jews and other released prisoners). The relocation did not happen over night. Some Jews spent as much as a year in the refugee camps run by the Allied Forces in Germany and other countries.

The Red Cross did all it could to help these displaced people. The United Nations did put forth a helping hand and also open their borders for the Jews to enter their free nations. The Marshall Plan also helped some Jews who remained in Europe to re-open their former businesses or new businesses or farms.
