Workshop Probes
Mental Illnesses
of Nazi Victims
Hy Herman
A workshop program designed
to seek ways of helping victims
of Nazi brutality was held last
weekend at Wayne State Univer-
sity, with the participation- of Dr.
Ulrich Venzlaff of the University
of Gottingen, Germany.
Dr. Venzlaff reported that many
survivors are suffering from de-
layed reaction mental illnesses.
There are 4,000 such victims in
this area, unable to adjust to the
customs of their new country,
according to Dr. Henry Krystal,
of the WSU medical school psych-
iatry department.
The youth of the survivors
caused the delay in effects, Dr.
Venzlaff said.
Dr. Krystal added that between
60 and 70 per cent of the refugees
living here have mental problems
and feel they are apart from
other people. He said they stick
together but refuse to talk about
the past, harboring feelings of
guilt because they survived while
others died.
The two men were joined by
rehabilitation workers, vocational
guidance personnel and social
workers.
