epa02550132 (07/08) A photograph released on 26 January 2011, ahead of International Holocaust Remembrace Day, which falls on 27 January 2011 shows Holocaust survivor Arieh Bleier, inside the Shaar Menashe Mental Health Center for Holocaust survivors in Pardes, Hanna, Israel, 20 November 2010. Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor Bleier survived the Mauthausen Concentration Camp in Austria. His parents and brother were murdered in Auschwitz. The Shaar Menashe Mental Health Center solely for Holocaust survivors holds some 70 patients, most who suffered trauma as children during World War II and survived the death camps of the Nazis to suffer mental anguish for the remainder of their lives, often going from one mental institution to another, and never establishing families after immigrating to Israel in the post World War II years. There are some 230,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel today and it is estimated that some 10 per cent of them need some mental treatment.
