The Sunday Times top 10 bestseller The incredibly moving and
powerful memoir of an Auschwitz survivor who made headlines around
the world. With a foreword by King Charles III. 'Unforgettable' -
Daily Mail When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was liberated in
1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote on which he'd
written 'Good luck and happiness'. And when her great-grandson,
Dov, decided to use social media to track down the family of the
GI, 96-year-old Lily found herself making headlines round the
world. Lily had promised herself that if she survived Auschwitz she
would tell everyone the truth about the camp. Now was her chance.
In Lily's Promise she writes movingly about her happy childhood in
Hungary, the death of her mother and two youngest siblings on their
arrival at Auschwitz in 1944 and her determination to keep her two
other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity of the camp and
the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. From there she
and her sisters became slave labour in a munitions factory, and
then faced a death march that they barely survived. Lily lost so
much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in
Israel and then in London. It wasn't easy; the pain of her past was
always with her, but this extraordinary woman found the strength to
speak out in the hope that such evil would never happen again.
'Utterly compelling, heartbreaking, truthful and yet redemptive, a
memoir of the Holocaust, a testimony of irrepressible spirit and an
unforgettable family chronicle, written in lucid prose by a truly
remarkable woman . . . I couldn't stop reading it.' - Simon Sebag
Montefiore
