Lives of Holocaust Victims After the Holocaust

The Holocaust was tragic event in history that took lives of over 10 million people. Throughout this period, men, women, and children of various races and culture groups, were taken from their homes and put in concentration camps. In these camps they were forced into heavy manual labor. Along with this work, these people were malnourished and energy deprived which made their lives that much more difficult. The people that did survive the war and the concentration camps faced a long road to recovery. After the concentration camps were liberated by the allied forces, most of the refugees were placed in refugee camps where they could've stayed in for up to 3 years. With all of their possesions gone, most people had nowhere to go to for financial assistance. Many refugees faced conditions that were in many ways similar to those in the camps themselves. Poverty, malnutrition and sometimes homelessness left refugees in a position that was very difficult to climb out of. Eventually as time progressed, refugees slowly started to get their lives back one step at a time. Although it is true that many people never made it to a state where their life after the war was the same as it was before.
