With three children, 10 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren, Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert is proof that the Nazis did not win.
For decades, it was difficult for Ebert, 98, to discuss the details of the horrifying nightmare she endured in Auschwitz concentration camp, but an 80 year difference between her and great-grandson, Dov Forman, helped bridge the trauma she'd held onto for generations.

..."My 98 year old great grandmother Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, has just become a great-grandma for the 35th time!
“I never expected to survive Auschwitz and start a family. Babies are the best revenge against the Nazis.”...

A learning lesson as a young boy in Brooklyn, the bodega owner down the street from my childhood home, was working the cash register and I noticed tattooed numbers on his arm and asked him what were they, he told me to go ask my parents. My Father a WWII vet and Jew told me everything and since them I have been aware and wish I would have said how glad I was he survived. I got the chance to protect the Prime Minister of Israel and was part of his protection detail going to the Holocuast Museum in Los Angeles and could not believe the stories. I don't know how people deny it happened and that another human treated people like that.

SPC Robert Coventry I don't know how anyone can deny that either. However... we have the Repubublicans denying Jan 6th, 2021 & are being led around by the nose by 45... go figure...

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Thanks for posting. Awesome and heartwarming story. People need to know. Not so sure the recent generations get much more than Anne Frank, which is good, but not enough.
Am currently reading a copy of a very well researched, well-written book the author sent me, for the purpose of doing a review. It is in e-book form, but perhaps will be in bound form, eventually. The woman wrote about the experiences of her husband's family during those years, after trying to do genealogical work to document the Grandparents in Germany. Have only just started the book. As it turned out, from the prologue, the parents did not talk of the times before her husband and his parents escaped to America to avoid the camps. None of their kids or grandkids knew anything about that history. Most of the extended family lost their lives in the camps. Investigating also lead her to find documents that trace the family back beyond the 1600s.
Losing most of an extended family is probably the story of many more folks than most realize. Many of those who survived or escaped before being put in camps are in their 70s-90s depending on whether or not they were children or adults at the time.
It takes decades for some folks to speak of past traumas, if ever. The woman's great grandson is a real blessing.
