Wow! What a loaded question! Here's a quick paragraph!
Holocaust survivors lost everything. Physically, they lost both their health and their homes, along with all of their belongings. Along with these losses, most survivors completely lost their identities and mental/emotional health. Survivors lost family members, witnessed atrocious acts against humanity, and endured unspeakable acts of violence themselves. A lot of Jewish people tried to return to their homes in an attempt to normalize their lives following liberation, but many were confronted by anti-Semitism. Even though the war had ended, anti-Semitic views were still popular in certain places after the war as a result of years of strong propaganda against Jewish people. Many people around the world blamed the Jews for the war and felt displaced after their return. This was true throughout Europe of course, but especially in the Middle East, where Palestinians were displaced in order to create a Jewish Nation. This meant that the people who already lost their health, their loved ones, their homes, and their belongings were still not in any position to make any upward advancements in their lives. In other words, discrimination prevented many from finding work, finding a place to call home, and from finding peace and security. The war ended, but Holocaust survivors' struggles did not.
