Lily's Promise - How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live (Broché)

At the age of ninety-six, Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert made headlines when her great-grandson, Dov, used social media to track down an American soldier who had liberated her in 1945. In Auschwitz, Lily had promised herself that if she survived she would tell the world her story. Now was her chance. In Lily's Promise she writes 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 remaining sisters safe.
She describes the inhumanity of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. With the pain of the past ever-present, this extraordinary woman found the strength to build a new life for herself, and to speak out in the hope that such evil would never happen again.
