About this deal

You have to do your best to survive. Of course. But it’s hard to survive alone. Your best chance of life come from working together. Jews like Lily were only numbers to the Nazis. They consequently had a number inked on their arm. They used it as a strategy to make individuals feel less human. On her left forearm, Lily Engelman (her pre-marriage name) has the tattoo with the number A-10572. Reading about the Holocaust reminds us that in this jungle of humanity, humans are the worst when it comes to inflicting pain on each other. Ford, Lily (27 April 2022). "Holocaust survivor, 98, 'so touched' to receive Hungarian national honour". Evening Standard. PA . Retrieved 27 April 2022.

The Nazis invaded Hungary in March 1944, and, in July 1944, when Ebert was 20 years old, she along with her mother, younger brother and three sisters were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. [1] Ebert's mother Nina, younger brother Bela, and younger sister Berta were immediately sent to the gas chambers, whilst Ebert and her two other sisters, Renee and Piri, were selected for work in the camp.

The phrase “Together we stand, divided we fall.” This sentence best describes how Lily and her two sisters managed to survive the cruel Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Buchenwald.

We can interpret ‘One Day’, the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2022, in a number of ways. For example, it can prompt us to think about one day in the future and how we can empower future generations to carry forward the lessons we must learn from the Holocaust and the testimony of survivors.Four months after arriving in the camp, Ebert and her two sisters were transferred to a munitions factory near Leipzig, where they worked until liberation by Allied forces from the Death March in 1945. [1] Post-Holocaust [ edit ] In fact, the book’s title, Lily’s Promise, refers to a promise Lily made to herself on Yom Kippur in 1944: if she survived the Nazis’ brutality, she would not only tell the world her story. But she would also ensure that whatever happened to them wouldn’t happen to anyone again.
