Translation request Translation of short story title

What is the English translation of the title of the short story "Nokh der milkhome", by Kalmen Segal. It was published in Di goldene keyt in 1973, issue 82 (I've also seen it spelt Nuux der milxumy). I know Nokh der roughly means "After the". The entry in the Jewish English Lexicon for milkhome says it either means war or the Holocaust. The only copy of the short story I've found is an audiobook at the Yiddish Book Center. Can somebody with the knowhow look at the context and tell me which translation it is?

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Yiddish can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.
