The Holocaust survivor sharing her story on TikTok – BBC Newsnight
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert – who was deported to Auschwitz aged 20 – shares her story alongside her great-grandson Dov Forman. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
As those able to give first hand testimony of the Holocaust dwindle, their stories have become more precious.
Lily Ebert, 98, was 20 years-old when she and her family were taken to Auschwitz aboard one of the last trains to enter the camp in 1944.
Lily survived, but her parents and some of her siblings were murdered.
She shares her story alongside her great-grandson Dov Forman who helped her to set up a TikTok account to educate the younger generation.
January 27 marks Holocaust Memorial Day, where we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of people killed under Nazi persecution of other groups, and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

many Holocaust survivors had a stolen childhood. They lived their entire childhood in darkness and uncertainty of whether or not they will live on. I very much felt bad of them but at the same time have deep respect for them.

I’m watching the boy in the striped pjs and I know it’s inaccurate 0:12 but it’s brief this abuse actually happened to Jews by nazis and it hurts it’s so upsetting they were just innocent people and the fact children were treated so horribly and even killed if they couldn’t do work is so upsetting I didn’t take history in school but I wish I did sm because although this was in the past this was very much real and some people still have minds that are racist, ‘nazi like’?? etc I am 0% educated on wars etc and history even of my own country but I’m so fed up with the democides of other people because of greedy people in power and the abuse of people from others because how they look or who they love
That paragraph was probably a mess
