When we lived in Aussie, we had a family friend who was a Polish jew and
had 'survived' the camps. he suffered terribly form flashbacks. He shook
most of the time, his hands could barely hold a cup of tea and ofetn he
would just cry for no apparent reason(thoof course there was a reason).
He was a broken man. Today, it would have been recognised that he
suffered from PTSD. I have never forgotten him nor the sick feeling the
memories give me.
It is so sad that this sort of cruelty has not ceased.
