Lily's Promise
How I Survived Auschwitz
and Found the Strength to Live
By Lily Ebert and Dov
Forman.
Hardcover.
Published 2021.
Published by Macmillan.

ASIN: 1529073405
Description:
A heart-wrenching and
ultimately life-affirming Holocaust survivor story that demonstrates the power
of love to see us through the darkest of times.
When Holocaust survivor
Lily Ebert was liberated in 1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote
on which he’d written ‘Good luck and happiness’. And when her great-grandson,
Dov, decided to use social media to track down the family of the GI, 96-year-old
Lily found herself making headlines round the world. Lily had promised herself
that if she survived Auschwitz she would tell everyone the truth about the
camp. Now was her chance.
In Lily’s Promise she
writes movingly about her happy childhood in Hungary, the death of her mother
and two youngest siblings on their arrival at Auschwitz in 1944 and her
determination to keep her two other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity
of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. From there
she and her sisters became slave labour in a munitions factory, and then faced
a death march that they barely survived.
Lily
lost so much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in
Israel and then in London. It wasn’t easy; the pain of her past was always with
her, but this extraordinary woman found the strength to speak out in the hope
that such evil would never happen again.
