It is impossible to describe all the ways in which the Holocaust affected the Jewish population in Europe after World War II. The damage and trauma that these communities endured transformed every aspect of their lives.
During the Holocaust, millions of Jewish people were murdered. This meant that the survivors had to live without their friends and families. Moreover, many of them lost all their possessions, including their homes and businesses. Jewish people also had to leave in fear of discrimination and intolerance, which continued to be common in the years following the war.
