When Lily Ebert BEM, a survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, showed her great-grandson Dov Forman a bank note she was given after liberation, he started an online search via social media and successfully tracked down the soldier who gave it to her.
Their reunion, 75 years later, captured imaginations across the country and was widely covered in television, newspapers and radio. Their book, Lily’s Promise – How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live, was co-authored by the pair and published in 2021, sharing both Lily’s memories and Dov’s journey of discovery.
In conversation with Show Racism the Red Card, Lily and Dov will share not only Lily’s experience of the Holocaust, but also how social media can be used as a tool for good in educating future generations.
