The story of a London-based Auschwitz survivor’s recovery from COVID-19 at the age of 97 went viral after her frum great-grandson Dov Forman shared it on Twitter. It was retweeted almost 17,000 times, ultimately reaching 14 million people. Lily Ebert survived Auschwitz and 75 years later she again battled for her life when she contracted the coronavirus in December (several weeks after she received her first vaccination dose.) Her family didn’t want to hospitalize her and fortunately, they were able to obtain home treatment for her, including oxygen treatment, IVs, and doctors’ visits. Ebert survived the ordeal and her elated great-grandson’s tweet about her recovery quickly went viral. Ebert received thousands of well-wishes, including from high-profile personalities and she and Dov received countless requests for interviews. My 97-Year-old Great Grandma, Lily Ebert BEM – Auschwitz Survivor, has just recovered from Covid- 19. Today she went on her first walk in a month after making a miraculous recovery. ❤️
