OxHMD22 - Book Talk: Lily’s Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live

Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change

This event will be on either 6 or 13 February - to be confirmed

When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert 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. They have since written a book together, published by Macmillan in 2021, sharing both Lily’s memories and Dov’s journey of discovery. Here, we hear from them about their book and their experiences.
