Document Summary
Aaron hass - the psychological profile of survivors. Children of survivors often expect something similar to happen to them. Some survivors told their children about it and taught them its importance, others never mentioned it and tried to forget. Survivor syndrome - many psychological symptoms including anxiety, depression, dissociation, and deep personality changes. Survivors were believed to have a near inability to form close relationships bc of their constant anxiety of losing everyone in their lives. Survivor guilt - survivors blame themselves for not doing more to help others. After liberation many people remarried to people who had similar experiences, rather than marry for personality reasons like usual. Often these relationships only intensified the feelings of guilt and anxiety instead of alleviate them like they thought they would. Survivors and nonsurvivors married too, sometimes not working, sometimes totally working. Younger survivors often experienced worse symptoms, and women experienced worse symptoms than men.
