  • Title: Emotional distress and satisfaction in life among Holocaust survivors--a community study of survivors and controls.
    Author: Carmil D, Carel RS.
    Journal: Psychol Med; 1986 Feb; 16(1):141-9. PubMed ID: 3961040.
    Abstract:
    Results are reported from a large population study (of working people) comparing Holocaust survivors and a control group in regard to emotional distress, satisfaction in life and psychosomatic symptoms. It was found that, even 40 years after the traumatic experience, this group of survivors exhibited a slightly higher degree of emotional disorders than controls who were not under Nazi occupation during WWII. These long-term effects were usually more prominent in women than in men, and the relationship to age was minimal.
