Lily's Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live by Dov Forman, Lily Ebert

5.0

A life that may never have been

The remarkable life and testimony of Lily Ebert, Auschwitz and Buchenwald survivor. A book that is harrowing for all that happened to her, her family both immediate and extended, to her fellow Jews across the European diaspora. But it is also hopeful, uplifting and inspiring for how Lily forged a life after such brutality and tradegy. And how through her words, she has carried the message of peace and hope to be passed to future generations. We must never forget the inhumanity of Nazi Germany. And thanks to people like Lily Ebert and also her incredible great Grandson Dov, all those who perished and those who had to rebuild lives in such traumatic circumstances, the world will always remember.
A poignant and powerful testimony of spirit, faith, tenacity and determination against all odds.
