Description

The book, which she co-wrote with her great-grandson, Dov Forman, is permeated by a sense of hope that Lily retains in both her educational work and daily life.

How social media helped a great-grandmother find the family of the man who liberated her from Auschwitz".

million followers, it has received over 25 million ‘likes’ and their top 5 most popular videos have collectively been viewed by over 50 million people. Four months after arriving in the camp, Ebert and her two sisters were transferred to a munitions factory near Leipzig, where they worked until liberation by Allied forces from the Death March in 1945. She knows how important it is to transfer her testimony not only into history but from history into memory. Also in 2021, Ebert and Forman used the TikTok video sharing platform, gaining more than a million followers for clips in which Ebert answers people's questions about surviving the Holocaust, when she was a prisoner at Auschwitz concentration camp.

Reading about the Holocaust reminds us that in this jungle of humanity, humans are the worst when it comes to inflicting pain on each other. Namaste reader, My name is Yash, and books for me are like a medicine, which removes my ignorance and also helps me in behaving more like a human. Ebert and Forman were awarded with the community award, from Andrew Neil, at the Jewish Care and Topland business lunch in March 2022, at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

An act of such kindness serves as a reminder that life is simply a series of moments - that a single act might mean more to someone than we could ever know. At a ceremony in the Austrian parliament, Ebert was given the award for civic engagement against antisemitism and for education about the Holocaust. We must harness the power of education and remembrance in the hope that, ‘One Day’, everyone will know this message.

Still, there is not a single line in the book where it feels like she has expressed any kind of hatred or malice against any country or religion. A 98-year-old Holocaust survivor built a massive TikTok following to combat deniers: 'It happened' ".

The book follows Ebert from her hometown in Hungary to Auschwitz (she fiercely protected two younger sisters after their mother and two other siblings were killed) and then to Switzerland and Israel, where she rebuilt her life after the war.
