In early 2021, during the Covid lockdowns, teenager Dov Forman started posting videos to social media with his great-grandmother Lily Ebert, a Holocaust survivor.
Now 98 years old, Ebert quickly became a sensation on Twitter and Tiktok with her honest and frank accounts from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp — as well as sharing her unbridled enthusiasm for life. The pair’s Tiktok account now has close to two million followers.
Forman and Ebert co-authored the new book Lily’s Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live.
