It should not happen to anyone.
It shouldn't happen to anyone no, but it is obviously worse for someone at such an age than someone at 20 (someone much younger is unlikely to have died just from being mugged).

I also think that she will have thought that she had seen the back of the oppression and degrading/humiliating treatment that she will have received in a concentration camp- only for this individual to bring all the memories back again (being mugged is said to bring about feelings of disempowement, humiliation etc).
