The Holocaust's Lasting Impact: Health, Trauma, and Global Consequences in the 21st Century

The Holocaust caused profound suffering, affecting victims' physical health, psychological wellbeing, and the world at large. Survivors faced severe health issues, including disease, malnutrition, and trauma from medical experiments. The psychological impact led to separation anxiety, survivor's guilt, and sleep disturbances. Globally, the Holocaust prompted the establishment of the Genocide Convention and raised awareness of human rights issues, while its lessons resonate in ongoing conflicts, notably the Arab-Israeli situation. Understanding these consequences is vital for preventing future atrocities.
