I lost about 100 relatives in holocaust including my great grandparents. ( my grandparents survived but lost all their siblings and their parents etc)

So this topic is close to my heart.

Significant number of holocaust survivors committed suicide or attempted. I would assume one can't or has hard time function with such PTSD. Therapy wasn't something people did then. And if one lived in communist country it wsnt even available.

I personally can't even talk about it and not cry so it is brutal for survivors to talk about it.
