Abstract

The article discusses a study on the mental health of Holocaust Survivor Immigrants (HSI), Non-Holocaust Immigrants (NHI), and Native Israelis (NI) in Israel, highlighting the impact of trauma and immigration on mental disorders. Conducted by researchers at Hadassah Medical Center, the study analyzed 30,539 psychiatric records from patients born in Europe or Israel before 1944. Findings indicate that HSI and NHI have significantly higher rates of severe mental illness and suicide attempts compared to NI, with Holocaust exposure being a critical risk factor. The research concludes that severe trauma, such as that experienced during the Holocaust, has lasting effects on mental health, while immigration also contributes to mental illness risk.
