Though Lily saw and experienced inhumanity at its lowest ebb, her reaction was not one of bitterness or cynicism, but of hope and compassion.

It falls to us to heed her words and to internalize and learn from them. This book calls every reader to action.

Lily’s Promise is a remarkable account of Lily Ebert’s experiences during the Holocaust. The accuracy of dates and facts
