Lily's Promise

from Jewish in the City · host Jewish in the City

In this episode I am joined by the Holocaust survivor, author of the widely acclaimed book and The Sunday Times bestseller, 'Lily's Promise' and Tik Tok sensation, Lily Ebert, together with her great grandson Dov Foreman.  Lily, a 97 year old warm, resilient and inspirational lady with shining eyes, movingly recounts her happy childhood in Hungary to the horrors she endured in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. Lily talks about her absolute determination in keeping her sisters and herself alive, her small but necessary acts of defiance, the secret she kept close to her and the promise that she made - and why that promise is so prevalent today.  Dov, aged 17 tells us of his determination to help his great grandmother Lily spread her story and message to the world, and by doing so how he has turned his great grandmother into an internet sensation along the way! He tells us of some surprising reactions he has received online and why it is increasingly important to stand up to hate.  Please subscribe, rate and share with your family and friends to help spread inspiration and empowerment.  Follow on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/jewishinthecityuk Follow on Facebook: http://facebook.com/jewishinthecityuk Email on: [email protected]
