The physically effects on the holocaust survivors were very crucial. The prisoners at the concentration camps were given tattoos as there identity. According to the article written about Tova, she was given her identity "A27633," at the age of five. This number was used for there identification. Every time the holocaust survivors would look down on the there arms the would see the number and be reminded of the holocaust the fear the terror and be reminded of all the terrible things that happened to them. .According to JOHN BURDICK Article, some are not ashamed of the tattoo but proud and have kept it to show pride. "the world should be ashamed, not me." (Tova Friedman ) Tova had experienced a lot of things a young child should never experience.
The holocaust survivors’ had been left with physiological problems after the holocaust. Some of the survivors have problems starting new families because .They have lost there other families to the Nazis and it was hard for them to start from scratch because the still had fear and weren’t use to things yet. According to the article Krystal, and that the holocaust survivors suffered concentration camp syndrome.
It was hard for the survivors to cop with the knew living style and ways due to the concentration camps and the trauma they had surfed. The holocaust had many effects on people many were long term effects, the holocaust survivors have suffered so much and had so much trauma, fear and terror . Some still look back and still have fear and some are still haunted by it. Even though the holocaust was a bad thing, it made the survivors strong in one way and heroes, because if they could survive the holocaust they can survive through anything it just made them stronger in a way.
