epa02550127 (02/08) A photograph released on 26 January 2011, ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on 27 January 2011, shows one Holocaust survivor pushing another through the halls in the Shaar Menashe Mental Health Center for Holocaust survivors in Pardes Hanna, Israel, 19 August 2010. Israel maintains the Shaar Menashe Mental Health Center solely for Holocaust survivors, which now holds some 70 patients. Most of the Israelis here 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.
