Well, it depended on who you were and where you were. A Jew just released from a camp tried to contact friends and family members that were taken to other camps. They and others tried to publish books on the Holocaust to prevent it from happening again and giving us a constant reminder. Some of the texts were too gruesome or sad to print at the time so they kept trying. Some never found any survivors of their families, but heard what had happened to them (gunned down, escaped then re-captured and killed by dogs, burned in the incinerator/gas chambers, etc.). If you were a Nazi or guard and were arrested by the US you were tried in court. Some are still waiting to be found and tried. Other German Nazis that were captured as POWs during the war were also put on trial.
