In 1944 my great grandma was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Her mother, younger brother and sister were gassed, murdered and cremated on arrival. Tomorrow, at the age of 98, my great grandma’s memoir, Lily’s Promise, is being published in paperback, dedicated in their honour.❤️

On May 10 1933, one of the largest Nazi book burnings took place, in Berlin. Over 20,000 Jewish books were burned. Exactly 89 years later, my great grandma’s memoir about surviving Auschwitz was published in the US. Today, Lily’s Promise is #2 on the @nytimes bestseller list.

Lily Ebert MBE It was so humbling to see my incredible, 99 year old, great grandmother receive her MBE today, at Windsor Castle, from His Majesty The King. Lily said to the King: “I was in the hell, Auschwitz. How special it is to be here today, with The King, in the Palace!”

77 years ago my great grandma, Lily Ebert, promised herself that that if she survived the hell of Auschwitz-Birkenau she would tell the world what happened, so that it could never happen again. How special it is to see Lily holding the first copy of her memoir, Lily’s Promise.❤️

Today, aged 98, my great grandma Lily Ebert has her book about holding on to hope through Auschwitz and beyond published in the US. Most Holocaust stories will never be told. Lily’s Promise is an affirmation that the Nazis didn’t win and is available now!❤️

One of the themes of Chanukah is the perseverance of light over darkness. Holocaust survivors, like my great grandmother Lily Ebert, are powerful lights that guide us and make the world a brighter place. Wishing a warm and wonderful Chanukah to all those celebrating.

This week, my great-grandma, Lily Ebert, a 100-year-old Auschwitz survivor, became a great-great-grandma. "I never expected to survive the Holocaust. Now I have five beautiful generations. The Nazis did not win!" From near-death at Auschwitz to five generations of Jewish life.

In July 1944 my great grandmother was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau where her mother, younger brother & sister were gassed, murdered and cremated on arrival. Today, at the age of 97, my great grandmother recorded the dedication to her memoir, Lily’s Promise, in their honour. ❤️

In the purim story, Jews were deemed for extinction. However, the Jews persevered and survived. Tonight, my great grandmother Lily Ebert, a 99 year-old Auschwitz survivor, celebrates surrounded by her large and loving family. We wish you a very happy, safe and joyous Purim.❤️

Today, an antisemite walked up to a Jewish home in one of London’s most Jewish areas, pulled out a knife, and tore the mezuzah off the door. Still think this is “just about Israel”? Once again in Europe, Jews are being attacked at our homes and pushed to the margins of society.

Today my 97 year old great grandma (Lily Ebert - Auschwitz survivor) has her book published about surviving Auschwitz and finding the strength to live. Lily’s Promise is available to order now. A review on Amazon would make Lily so happy! ❤️🙂📚

In 1944 my great grandmother Lily Ebert was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Her mother, younger sister and brother were murdered on arrival. At 98, my great grandmother is able to dedicate her powerful memoir, which I was privileged to co-author, in their honour. #WorldBookDay

This week I travelled to Hungary, to pick up a Jewish bible that belonged to my great grandma’s brother, Bela - murdered in Auschwitz, aged 13. Today, visiting Lily in hospital, I handed her his bible, with his signature inside, the only link we have to Bela’s existence.

Lily Ebert — 1923-2024. A light that shone so brightly has today gone dark.

In 5 days, my incredible great-grandmother Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, will turn 100. Despite challenging months, her light, hope, and wisdom have been invaluable. Help us share her remarkable life, and make this milestone birthday an extra special celebration for Lily.

Today, my 97 year old great grandmother (Lily Ebert - Auschwitz survivor) gave her first in person talk after a year of zoom events. ‘I promised myself in Auschwitz that if I survived I would tell the world what happened there. And I do.’ So proud of my amazing great grandma ❤️

So proud that my great grandma, Lily Ebert, 99 year old Auschwitz survivor, is receiving an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours list. “I promised myself in Auschwitz that if I survived, I would tell my story to the world. I feel that this promise is being fulfilled.” — Lily Ebert MBE.

Yesterday my great Grandma (Lily Ebert - an Auschwitz survivor) showed me this bank note- given to her as a gift by a soldier who liberated her. Inscribed, it says “a start to a new life. Good luck and happiness”. Later on, she met up with those who freed her (third photo).

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful prayers and messages; they mean so much to us. Please continue to pray for my great grandmother Lily Ebert, a 98 year old Auschwitz survivor, who is unwell and in hospital. Her Hebrew name is: Yaffa Shaindel bat Nechama. ❤️💪

My great grandmother Lily is a firsthand witness to the Holocaust, and shines so much light towards the future. Like in this photo, we are carriers of reflections of survivors’ contributions to the world. It’s our duty to carry their stories into the future. Shabbat shalom ❤️

Some great news to end a difficult week: Lily’s Promise has entered the New York Times Best-Seller list at #2! Thank you all so much for helping my great grandmother Lily Ebert, currently in hospital recovering from an operation, fulfil her life promise - at 98 years old! ❤️

My great grandma Lily Ebert, a 99 year old Auschwitz survivor 💔 Today, a week after Hamas inflicted unimaginable terror, her pain is unfathomable. We mustn’t let the haunting shadows of history persist. ‘Never again’ must be more than words; it must be a collective commitment.

When did the murder of 6 million innocent Jews become ‘too political’? Shameful.

It was a pleasure to meet His Royal Highness @PahlaviReza, the Crown Prince of Iran, today in Parliament. Here’s to the day when the Iranian people are free from tyranny, terror, and repression - and the Islamic Revolutionary regime is consigned to history.

“From every human being, there shines a light.” Holocaust survivors, like my great grandmother Lily Ebert, are powerful lights that shine bright through darkness and guide us, making the world a brighter place. Wishing everyone a warm & wonderful Chanukah 🍩🕎❤️

Happy second night of Chanukah 🕎 🍩🔥 Myself and my great grandmother Lily Ebert, 98 year old Auschwitz survivor, wish the whole Twitter family a Chag Chanukah Sameach ❤️

Shanah Tovah - happy Jewish new year! 79 years ago, my great-grandmother, Lily Ebert, was in Auschwitz-Birkenau on Rosh Hashanah. Today, at 99, she celebrates with 37 great-grandchildren. We hope that we can all have a sweet new year, full of health and happiness. 🍯🍎🍏

My great-grandmother survived the horrors of the Holocaust and came to the UK seeking a life free from hate. The rise of antisemitism on our streets and across the West over the past 11 months has shaken her deeply. Don’t stand by as history threatens to repeat itself—speak up.

93 year old Auschwitz survivor, Arek Hersh, has returned to the @AuschwitzMuseum for #YomHashoah with March of The Living UK (@MOTL_UK_). This video shows Arek, in front of the gates of hell - where he was imprisoned during the Holocaust, putting on teffilin. Inspirational ❤️

My 100-year-old great grandmother Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, lighting a candle to mark Yom Hashoah in memory of her mother, youngest sister and brother—all murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz Birkenau. 💔🕯️

Tonight, outside Downing Street, crowds are chanting “long live the Intifada.” Throughout the day, we have seen marches glorifying terrorists, celebrating murder, and waving banners calling for the destruction of Israel - and, by extension, the genocide of Jews. Their heroes are Hamas: terrorists who butchered families, burned babies, and kidnapped grandmothers. And they want everyone to know it. On Thursday, two Jews were murdered in cold blood in Britain for being Jewish. That is what an Intifada looks like. For 48 hours, the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary, and senior politicians have told people not to attend these marches. They went ahead anyway, with Swastikas, pro-Hamas posters, and open calls for “jihad.” The Prime Minister said he would do “whatever it takes” to protect the Jewish community. So where is he? What has he done? Every synagogue I know was scrambling to increase security this weekend. Jewish schools are on edge. Parents are frightened. This is Britain in 2025. We were promised protection. We were promised leadership. We were promised “whatever it takes.” Instead, we are left with fear and silence. If this is not the moment to act, what is? The Jewish community fears another attack may be coming, and we can all see that nothing is being done to stop the marches of radicalisation that encourage it. But remember, the Prime Minister says he is doing “whatever it takes.”

So special to be spending shabbat at home again with my remarkable 99 year old great grandmother, Lily Ebert. She is an Auschwitz survivor who recently spent some time in the hospital, recovering from surgery. Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter! ❤️

On #InternationalWomensDay, my 100 year old great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor and a beacon of strength and inspiration, urges the world to remember the plight of the female hostages. #BringBackOurGirls

The Jewish community doesn’t need warm words. We need action. My message to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood this morning on @GMB 👇

This photograph shows my great grandma Lily Ebert, 99 year-old Auschwitz survivor, walking away from the crematorium in Auschwitz. On #HolocaustMemorialDay we remember the ordinary, innocent, people people who weren’t able to walk away from the Nazis' crimes against humanity.

Shanah Tova - happy Jewish new year, Twitter! My great grandmother, Lily Ebert, returned home yesterday, in time for Rosh Hashanah. We hope that we can all have a sweet new year, full of health and happiness. ❤️🍏🍯

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter ❤️ So special to be spending Shabbat at home again with my great grandmother Lily Ebert, a 98 year old Auschwitz survivor, for the first time in 2 months!

Today, myself and fellow Jewish students at our London university, faced an anti-Jewish mob vocalising their desire for an intifada against Jewish people. This should not be accepted on our streets or universities. Jewish students should not have to attend university in fear.

Lammy’s decision sends a clear message: Take hostages. Execute hostages. We’re on your side. And he chose to make this announcement as Israel buried Hersh, one of the 6 innocent hostages murdered this week. We won’t forget this betrayal.

Last week, at 100, my great grandma, Lily Ebert, who survived Auschwitz, passed away. She went on to inspire millions with her strength and message of love and tolerance. My tribute to her in The Sunday Times: ‘Safta’ taught us how to live again👇 thetimes.com/article/96bf51f…

In the past week, several synagogues in Golders Green - the heart of London’s Jewish community - have had faeces smeared on their doors. London, 2025. Where Jew-hate is becoming the norm.

Kanye West (Ye) on Twitter: 32.3M followers. Jewish population worldwide: 15.7M. If you’re tired of hearing about antisemitism, imagine how tired we are of living it. Time to start speaking up and condemning hate—not just ignoring it because it’s directed towards Jews.

This #InternationalWomensDay, I honour my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, who passed away at 100 in October. She survived Auschwitz, raised five strong Jewish generations, and educated the world about her experiences as a woman in the Holocaust. They tried to erase her. She won.

This week, my great grandmother Lily Ebert, 98 year old Auschwitz survivor, became a great grandma for the 36th time! “In Auschwitz, they told us there was only one way out - through the chimney. I survived. It’s so special to be able to build my own family.” @AuschwitzMuseum

On December 29th, my great grandma Lily Ebert, Auschwitz survivor, is turning 98❤️ Yesterday, on TikTok, I asked everyone to send her a birthday card as a surprise. The response has been amazing. Twitter can you help? Dov Forman & Lily Ebert 17 Portland Place London W1B 1PU

#InternationalWomensDay 📸 My inspirational 98 year-old great grandmother Lily Ebert BEM, an Auschwitz Survivor, sitting with her daughter, granddaughter & great-granddaughter.

A powerful message on tolerance from my great Grandma- Lily Ebert, Auschwitz survivor. ‘It makes no difference what the colour of your skin is & what nationality you are because one thing is for sure, for all humans our blood is red & when you cut us it hurts.׳ @AuschwitzMuseum

On the last night of Chanukah, I am amazed by the flames, having evolved from a single spark. The journey with my great-grandma began with one spark & is now the brightest of flames. As Lily’s 99th birthday approaches in 4 days, we can't wait for Lily’s flame to shine brighter.

In the purim story, Jews were deemed for extinction. However, the Jews persevered and survived. Tonight, I celebrate purim with my great grandmother Lily Ebert, a 98 year-old Auschwitz survivor. We wish you a very happy, safe and joyous Purim.❤️

UPDATE ON LILY: Thank you all for your kind words and prayers, it means so much to us as a family. The surgery went well, and we now hope for a full and speedy recovery. Please continue to have Lily in your thoughts, as we pray for a full recovery. ❤️

Today my great grandma, Lily Ebert - 96 year old Holocaust survivor, received her first dose of the #vaccine. Chanukah miracle 🕎💪

Growing up, my great Grandmas #Auschwitz number was always very apparent. I remember the first time she showed me her tattoo. She explained to me that, ‘With the Nazis, it was all about dehumanisation; I was A-10572. No longer a person just a number.’ @AuschwitzMuseum

80 years ago, British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen, and found a hell on earth. Mervyn Kersh, 100, helped liberate it. Susan Pollack, 94, survived it. We owe it to them to remember; to act against the rising hatred across the world. Because saying never again is not enough.

My great grandmother Lily Ebert, 99 year old Auschwitz survivor, together with Manfred Goldberg, 92 year old survivor - pictured today @Jewish_Care. Both unwaveringly committed to educating about the Holocaust, and the lessons humanity must learn from their testimonies. ❤️

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter. Although my great grandmother Lily Ebert, 98 year old Holocaust survivor, is still in hospital, she is remaining positive and getting better with a smile on her face! ❤️

81 years ago today, 18,000 Jewish lives were taken in a single day at Majdanek, with loudspeakers blaring dance music to drown their cries. In total, over 42,000 were murdered in the Lublin region from Nov 3-4, 1943. (Singing Ani Maamin—"I believe"—in Majdanek crematorium.)

My great-grandmother survived Auschwitz and moved to the UK in 1967 to rebuild her life. She always believed in hope and resilience. But today, there are moments when I no longer feel completely safe in the U.K.👇 mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/my…

An NHS doctor said “Gas the Jews” - and was only given a warning. Get a grip, @gmcuk.

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter ❤️

In a world so often marked by hatred, my great grandma Lily Ebert, a 100-year-old Auschwitz survivor, reminds us of the power of tolerance and hope. We must all learn from her example, striving to make the world a better place. Shabbat shalom and have a nice weekend ❤️

In the purim story, Jews were deemed for extinction. However, the Jews persevered and survived. Today, I celebrate purim with my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, a 100 year-old Auschwitz survivor. Neither Haman, Hitler nor Hamas can break our spirit. Happy Purim ❤️

Over the past two weeks, my great grandma, an Auschwitz survivor, and I have received thousands of messages of hate on Tiktok, Instagram and ‘X’. We will not allow this to stop us from educating about the horrors of the past, and what hatred can lead to. Hate only breeds hate.

The Royal Opera House gets a £23 million subsidy a year from the taxpayer. If they want to give a platform to political stunts, fine - but can we have our money back?

Here is a small gold pendant, which remarkably survived Auschwitz-Birkenau with my great Grandma, Lily Ebert. It looks quite ordinary, similar to any other necklace, but it has its own remarkable story. Thread:

Embracing the first Shabbat of the new Jewish year with my great grandma Lily Ebert, a 99 year old Auschwitz survivor. She has witnessed the turning tides of history, seen the world change in countless ways, and yet, her faith and spirit remains unwavering. Have a nice weekend!

My great-grandmother rose from the ashes of Auschwitz with resilience and purpose. Now, her face and story are framed in paint in the heart of Golders Green. Though she may be gone, her legacy lives on ❤️

This is disgraceful from @mrjamesob – platforming a modern blood libel against Jews live on national radio. There’s no such thing as “Shabbat school”. No Jewish child in the UK is taught that vile, racist nonsense. This is a stain on @LBC and its producers.

History teaches us this: when a nation cannot protect its Jews, it will soon fail to protect anyone. The Jews are the canary in the coal mine. And right now, the canary is gasping.

ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS My 97 year old great grandma (Lily Ebert - Auschwitz survivor) and I are delighted to have reached 1 million followers on Tiktok today. ‘When you listen to a witness you become a witness’ (Elie Wiesel). Over 1 million TikTok users are now Lily’s witnesses.

You’re tired of hearing about antisemtism. We’re tired of living it.

Have a nice weekend and Shabbat Shalom ❤️ It's truly an honour to spend Shabbat with my great-grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor whose resilience inspires us all.

Overnight, a synagogue and Jewish children’s nursery in Golders Green were desecrated with excrement. That makes 8 antisemitic attacks in just over a week, all by the same suspect, caught clearly on CCTV. Eight attacks. One suspect. Still no arrest…

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter ❤️ 📸 Four generations from my inspirational 99 year old great grandmother Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor. This photo was taken just after my great grandmother received her MBE from His Majesty The King. The Nazis did not win.

A day of shame. Starmer has rewarded Hamas with a Palestinian state in a pre-recorded video, too weak to even face questions from MPs in Parliament or from the press. He has betrayed the 48 hostages, our ally Israel, and Britain’s Jewish community on the eve of our New Year.

Two hundred years of survival. My great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, and Walter Bingham, a Kindertransportee. Both 100 years old. They are symbols of resilience, having devoted decades to teaching the world about the Holocaust to ensure we never forget.

Thank you to the tens of thousands of people, on all platforms, who have sent Lily birthday cards, emails, wishes and videos. It is very hard to show you how much it really means to her, and the whole family. ❤️

This morning I visited my great grandma’s hometown, Bonyhad, once vibrant with its Jewish life. The empty synagogue, a haunting reminder of the effects of the Holocaust. Praying there, as one of Lily's 36 great-grandchildren, I stand strong, a testament to enduring Jewish life.

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter ❤️

On Saturday morning, my friend Rabbi Benzion Alperowitz of Bournemouth Chabad walked outside to find a swastika on his home. Antisemitism is alive on our streets, yet it is too often excused and ignored. But it will not break us. We will continue to live proudly as Jews.

Shabbat shalom & have a nice weekend, Twitter ❤️ It is an honour to continue the tradition of celebrating Shabbat every week with my 99-year-old great grandmother, Lily Ebert, who is a survivor of Auschwitz. Her strength and resilience serve as a constant source of inspiration.

My great grandma (97-year-old Auschwitz survivor, Lily Ebert) and I would like to thank you all for your messages of support over the past week; it means a lot! We are also celebrating a huge milestone today on Tiktok - 100k followers 🎉 ❤️ Choose love, not hate ❤️

Britain, 2025.

In 1944, fighting to stay alive in Auschwitz, my great grandma made a promise to herself: she would survive the hell and tell the world her story. At 98, she fulfils that vow, relaying the details of her experiences in her memoir, Lily’s Promise. 2 Days till US publication! ❤️

My great grandmother Lily Ebert, a 98 year old Auschwitz survivor, experienced inhumanity at its worst level. Her message of hope over despair is more necessary today than it has ever been. 4 days until her memoir, Lily’s Promise, is published in paperback in the UK. ❤️📚

Join the national moment of commemoration today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay, by lighting a candle in your window at 4pm. We remember all those who were murdered, including my great grandmother’s mother Nina, younger brother Bela and youngest sister Berta.

Heartbroken. Sick at the news. On our holiest day. Being a Jew in Britain feels unbearably lonely. Our days here feel numbered. We always knew this moment would come. It was never if, only when. No words. Only prayers for the murdered and the injured. 💔

London: A Kosher restaurant vandalised. It is essential to acknowledge that the defensive measures taken in Israel mustn’t be a pretext for spreading hatred against Jews worldwide. There must be zero tolerance for antisemitism or any glorification of terrorism on our streets.

Shocking. This morning the same man carried out the same vile act outside a Jewish school. It’s the fourth antisemitic attack by him in just over a week - and there is clear CCTV of his face. Where are the police? Where is the mainstream news coverage?
