About Lily Ebert
Lily Ebert (born Engelman Lívia, 29 December 1923 – 9 October 2024) was a Hungarian-born British writer and Holocaust survivor, who in her later life became notable for her memoir, and social media videos and media appearances documenting her life as a survivor of the genocide. == Early life == Ebert was born in Bonyhád, Hungary. She was the eldest daughter in a Jewish family of six children and lived in London, England from 1967 onwards. == World War II years and the Holocaust == Nazi Germany 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. Ebert's mother Nina, younger brother Bela, and younger sister Berta were immediately sent to the gas chambers, whilst she and her two other sisters, Renee and Piri, were spared, as they were selected for work in the camp. 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. After she was liberated, Ebert travelled with her surviving sisters to Switzerland in order to start rebuilding their life. In 1953 Ebert was reunited with her other brother, who had also survived the Nazi camp and slave-labour system. The family emigrated to Israel where she married and had three children, before settling in London in 1967. Ebert had 10 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
