The harmful impact of the Holocaust on the health of those who survived it has been found to continue for decades afterward, causing increased mortality and raising the chances of heart disease and cancer, a Hebrew University study found.
Researchers analyzed the death records of around 22,000 people, among them 5,042 survivors, living in Israel who were followed up from 1964 to 2016, then compared the mortality rates from cancer and heart disease among Holocaust survivors to those who did not suffer Nazi persecution.
