The Long Term Effects of the Holocaust
The Holocaust destroyed society. This devastating Genocide killed millions of people, left thousands in physical or mental pain, and affected todays society in such a negative way. In total about eleven million people were killed unfairly and those who luckily got away will be traumatized for the rest of their lives having to face todays society. These survivors still face the long term affects from the holocaust. “Like an atom bomb that disperses its radioactive fallout in distant places, often a long time after the actual explosion, the Holocaust continues to contaminate everyone who was exposed to it in one way or another.” As survivors and children began aging the terrifying flashbacks return to their minds and insecurities begin control their physiologic mind. Thus it seems that Elie Wiesel (1978) was correct in stating that “time does not heal all wounds; there are those that remain painfully open.
The Holocaust not only affected all the survivors and harmless soles that died but the Holocaust impacted our world. The Holocaust just gives an example of how prejudice our society can be. The Holocaust , 9/11, and Pearl Harbor made everyone stop and really think that we shouldn't get to comfortable in the state that we are at because that can get stripped away from you in a second. The Holocaust today still effects us by the government cracking down. Today most countries don't except dictators to take over they now give power to people, president also to princes ext. They did this because of the Holocaust they don't want any reoccurrence of this horrific genocide that stole the innocent lives of Jewish people. In todays society you are taught from day one to "treat others the way you would want to be treated". Your taught discrimination is a sin. This genocide shows as if that was okay to kill off certain people because of their religion. The Holocaust effected our society like no other war or battle has. The Holocaust has and will effect us whether it was in the Past, Present, or Future.
