Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was born in Hungary on December 29, 1923. She was 20 years old when she and her family were deported to Auschwitz. Lily’s mother and younger brother were immediately sent to the gas chambers. Lily survived.
Lily detailed her experience in a memoir, Lily’s Promise. With over 2 million followers on TikTok, she used the platform for Holocaust education and to share her story, with the help of her great-grandson Dov.
Last year, Lily was awarded an MBE by King Charles at Windsor Castle. MBE stands for Member of the Order of the British Empire, an honor given for outstanding achievement or service to the community that is exceptional and has a long-term impact, serving as an example to others.
Lily leaves behind a powerful legacy. This past year, she lived to see the birth of her great-great-grandchild, marking five generations. She was 100 years old.
May her memory be a blessing.
