Yesterday would have been her 101st birthday. 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.
She detailed her experience in a memoir titled Lily’s Promise. With over 2 million followers on TikTok, she used the platform to educate about the Holocaust and share her story with the help of her great-grandson, Dov Forman.
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 exceptional achievement or service to the community with a long-term impact that serves as an example to others.
Lily leaves behind a powerful legacy and lived to see the birth of her great-great-grandchild, marking five generations. She passed away in October at 100 years old.
May her memory be a blessing.
