Trauma In The Holocaust

During World War II, there was a Holocaust that the world will never forget. The word “Holocaust,” means the destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war.

Most recently, a new study observed the posterity of Holocaust survivors. It shows that if either of the parents have PTSD, then the children will most likely develop it. All of this shows that the effect of what the Germans did to the Jews is life changing not only to those Jews but the next few generations of their family.
