    In an article titled ‘The Impact of the Holocaust on survivors and their children” we hear about a young girl named Sandra who isn’t allowed a normal childhood. “My life as a hidden child was...how can I say it...I had no toys. The only fresh air I got was when I was allowed to go in the backyard. I made up imaginary friends because I had no one to play with. I do not remember being hugged and kissed. That was my life for two years.” Sandra is undoubtedly not the only one who faced this predicament. Many children who grew up during this time have few memories they look back upon with joy. In Sandra's case, she was hidden with her neighbour while her family was sent to concentration camps. Everyday she battled with the gnawing feelings of dread for her family. How can you expect to put a child through such a mental state and not expect them to come out with damage? When she came out of hiding (the end of World War 2) her communication skills had slid to the negative numbers. It wasn’t missed though since anti-semitism was a lasting…
