Details: Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781035059997 Publisher: Pan (Pan Macmillan) Overview: Lily's Promise is the Sunday Times top 10 bestselling memoir of Auschwitz survivor Lily Ebert, written with her great-grandson Dov Forman. This updated paperback edition carries a foreword by King Charles III and includes the story of Lily being awarded an MBE. Blending harrowing wartime testimony with a modern social-media discovery that reunited Lily with a piece of her own history, it is essential reading for anyone drawn to Holocaust history, survivor memoirs, and stories of extraordinary resilience. About the Book: Lily's Promise traces Lily Ebert's life from a contented childhood in Hungary through the horror of deportation to Auschwitz in 1944, where she lost her mother and two youngest siblings within hours of arrival. The book follows Lily's fierce determination to protect her surviving sisters through slave labour in a munitions factory and a brutal death march, capturing acts of quiet defiance and sisterly solidarity that carried them through. Written with clarity and emotional honesty, the memoir does not shy away from the brutality of the camps, yet it is ultimately a story of endurance, memory, and hope. A striking modern thread runs through the narrative: after liberation, an American soldier gave Lily a banknote inscribed with a message of hope, and decades later Dov Forman used social media to trace the family of that GI, turning a private wartime promise into a story that captivated readers worldwide. This edition also reflects Lily's later life, including her recognition with an MBE and the honour of a foreword from King Charles III. Together, the authors have crafted a book that works as both a vital historical record and a deeply personal family story, encouraging readers to reflect on memory, forgiveness, and the responsibility of bearing witness for future generations.
