Even though they survived the Nazi Death Machine, it would continue to get worse. They would return to their homes and families, without realizing both would in most cases be gone.

In many cases what the survivors had to endure after the Holocaust was worse. In the camps they knew that they had no hope, they just tried to live until the next day, upon liberation they were full of hope, but they found that they could not return home, in the east under communism their property had been reasigned to someone else, in most areas antisemitism had not suddenly stopped just because the government had changed. Communites were often ashamed of what they had done, but blamed the Jews for making them do it, and they did not want the Jews around to remind them. But in other places like some towns in Hungary and Greece gentile friends had protected Jewish property and businesses and there was a peaceful return.
