At the end of the holocaust, how were all of the groups targeted, affected?

Question

I know the jews were mostly affected because they had lost an entire generation, but how were the others affected. were there any reports of insanity in any survivers?

Answer 1

The true interest comes with understanding and with that you must read about it.

Holocaust survivors can never detach themselves from the view that they were innocent victims of the Nazi’s genocidal plan which destroyed their families and communities, leaving them bereft and in despair. In a remarkable act of courage most survivors faced the uncertainty of their future by renewing their broken lives. They married, raised children, entered trades or professions, living lives as close to normalcy as they were able. This was their answer to those who wished to annihilate them.
Another means for resisting the genocidal program was to break the silence about their ordeal, to let the world know of their suffering, to demand that their story be heard despite the deniers’ attempts to erase it from historical memory. Their resolve to write their stories was, in fact, a concrete answer to an event which had taken place sixty years ago. In a secret meeting held in Posen, Heinrich Himmler addressed the state and district leaders on the Jewish Question. He praised them for not losing their moral qualities in the face of the necessary murderous act they performed daily; he justified before them the logic of killing women and children, warning against any softening of attitude that might deter them from this sensitive task. He foretells the fate of European Jewry -- only a few would survive -- and concludes his remarks on the Jewish Question with the following admonition: “Now you know all about it, and you will keep quiet. In the distant future, perhaps, one might consider if the German people should be told anything more about it. I believe it is better that we -- all of us -- who have taken this upon ourselves for our people and have taken the responsibility (the responsibility for the deed, not merely for the idea), should take our secret to our graves....”
Due in large measure to the writings of survivors, the world came to know what Himmler wanted to keep secret. Their revelations brought us knowledge about the Holocaust that at first challenged credulity. But they insisted on telling the truth about their lives and these narratives are their

Answer 2

The Nazis especially targeted Jews, gypsies, cripples, retards, homosexuals, and Russians. Insanity is a luxury. It does not happen during times of intense personal crisis. Nobody snoozes during a rollercoaster ride.

Jews: An intelligence bell curve already shifted 2/3 sigma upward by overwhelming and lethal historic European anti-Semitism had its bottom 90% lopped off at a whack. The Nazis created a Master Race that mostly emigrated to the New World where assimilation destroyed it within two generations.

Gypsies: reproduced around the inconveneince. When quality is not a selected trait numbers always win.

Cripples and retards: Native Europeans now have an anomalously low rate of congenital both.

Homosexuals: Insufficient Nazi endeavor, in part because homosexuality was rife as a German political instrument.

Russians: see Gypsies.

Answer 3

Ok try this
1) The Soviets lost entire generations of young men; they lost 20 MILLION people and they lost 15,000 men just in the bloodiest street fighting ever, the taking of Berlin (it was over 4 days).
2) The Gypsies were almost completely obliterated
3) Many survivors, regardless of their classifications (e.g, Homosexual, mentally ill,physically disabled, Jewish, et al) committed suicide; there is such a thing called "Survivor's Guilt," which is a phenomenon observed primarily if one was the only survivor of the camps from one's family group. One felt "badly" about living when so many were dying.
4)Although you can argue that Jews were a "special target" of the Nazi regime, by virtue of the Final Solution, the reality is that the so-called "Master Race" (Herrenvolk in German)was primarily interested in establishing dominance and hegemony throughout the world. If that meant wholesale slaughter of anyone else who stood in their way, so be it.
Please be aware too that economically, the Nazi regime PROFITED from this murder of anyone they didn't like. Since they robbed the undesirables six ways to Sunday, stealing all their valuables BEFORE deportation and then taking anything they had left AFTER they arrived in the camps, they are arguably some of the most efficient and ruthless thieves the world has ever known. Please be aware TOO that there WERE attempts to try and use the bodies of their victims in profitable manners,most notably to render body fat to make soap and to grind bones to make fertilizer. These were ONLY given up because the Nazis could not find a way to keep production costs down. Hope that helps

Answer 4

Some went insane, some committed suicide, some made efforts to find hidden Nazis so that they'd be punished. Some tried to live their lives as best they could along with the nightmares.

Many of the few surviving Jews left Europe, couldn't stand to be there anymore. They moved to America or Israel.

Answer 5

The Holocaust destroyed eu Jewry. Six million Jews have been slaughtered with the aid of the Nazis - that grow to be sort of 0.5 the Jews on earth. As for what the 'international community' did to 'help' the Jews after the Holocaust: perchance the important element right that's what grow to be no longer completed during the Holocaust! The Jews in Europe tried to flee the Nazis - basically to come across there grow to be nowhere to run TO. No u . s . agreed to furnish them sanctuary. Even usa, usually concept to be a staunch best buddy of the Jewish human beings, rejected them. And after WW2 grow to be over, the British behaved extraordinarily to the Jews. The Brits had promised area of the region of Palestine to the two the Jews and the Arabs. undergo in innovations: Palestinian Jews have been residing there for 3000 years. The British had already given eighty two% of Palestine to the Arabs - all of us be responsive to it as JORDAN. After WW2, the Brits reneged on their promise to the Jews and gave them basically a tiny sliver of land. They then relatively stood back and watched on an analogous time as the Arabs tried to wreck the Jewish community in Palestine. The British REFUSED to permit the Jews who had controlled to stay to tell the story the Holocaust enter Palestine. subsequently the Jews had to flow into 'illegally'. As to your question approximately what Jews went with the aid of during the Holocaust: - Jewish toddlers have been 'experimented' on interior the concentration camps. Josef Mengele, the Nazi 'usual practitioner' grow to be in value of this. He would, case in point, pour dye into their eyes, to work out if he ought to alter the colour. He examined the 'limits' of discomfort they might undergo - with the aid of torturing them to work out how without postpone or slowly they died. He decrease pregnant Jewish women open - without anaesthetic. And greater. plenty greater.
