The absolute best use of TikTok we’ve seen to date. 👏👏👏 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.
Ebert said the rise of antisemitism and Holocaust denial makes talking about the atrocities all the more important.
