On Yom Kippur, 1944, imprisoned in Auschwitz, Lily Ebert made a promise: she would survive and tell the world her story—for those who could not.
Now, at ninety-eight, Lily fulfills that vow with the help of her great-grandson, Dov Forman, in this moving, intergenerational memoir. She shares the story of her childhood in Hungary, the heartbreaking loss of her mother and siblings upon arrival at Auschwitz, and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength to endure. After liberation, Lily rebuilt her life in Israel and later London, ensuring that hope outlasted horror.
An instant New York Times bestseller, Lily’s Promise is a powerful testament to resilience, remembrance, and the responsibility of future generations to keep history alive.
