Synopses

Lily's Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live

Lily Ebert recalls being liberated in 1945, when a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote inscribed with “Good luck and happiness”. Decades later, her great-grandson Dov uses social media to trace the soldier’s family, bringing Lily’s story to worldwide attention.

She writes about her childhood in Hungary, the loss of her mother and two youngest siblings on arrival at Auschwitz in 1944, and her determination to keep her sisters safe. The account also describes the camp, subsequent forced labour in a munitions factory, and a death march.

Three Sisters

As children, Cibi, Magda and Livia promise their father they will stay together. Years later, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz, and Cibi follows, determined to protect her sister as they try to survive cruelty and hardship.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz

In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrives in Auschwitz-Birkenau and is assigned to tattoo prisoners selected for survival. While carrying out this work, he meets Gita as she waits to be tattooed, and becomes determined to survive and to help her survive too.

Cilka's Journey

In 1942, sixteen-year-old Cilka Klein is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where the commandant Schwarzhuber forces her separation from the other women prisoners. After liberation, she is charged as a collaborator by the Russians and sent to a prison camp in Siberia called Vorkuta, inside the Arctic Circle.
