Unlike her mother, brother and sister, Lily Ebert survived the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
After the camp was liberated, Ebert made a promise to herself: She would tell people what had happened there and, in doing so, change the world.
Now, at 98, Ebert is keeping that promise in a way no one could have imagined in 1945. With the help of her 18-year-old great-grandson, Dov Forman, Ebert is telling her story to millions of people on TikTok. Since their inaugural video on Feb. 9 last year, the two have posted more than 380 videos on the social media app, drawing in 1.7 million followers and amassing some 25 million likes in the process.
