Isolation
Beyond our physical needs, humans also depend on each other for social interaction to sustain our well-being. When a person experiences prolonged isolation from friends and family, negative changes can occur such as changes in sleep cycles, depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. Social isolation also increases our chances of developing certain illnesses and diseases like stroke and dementia. For survivors of Hitler’s twelve-year regime the long-term effects of isolation continue to affect them decades after the Holocaust.
