Elderly Holocaust survivors are among the most susceptible to the current pandemic; 900 died of Covid in Israel alone. That is why it was heartening to see, on Twitter, one 97-year-old Holocaust survivor grinning because she had just beaten Covid, and another smiling after receiving her first dose of the vaccine.
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.
Dov Forman, Lily Ebert’s 17-year-old great grandson, posted on Twitter about the 97-year-old’s first stroll outside since she fell ill. Ebert was 21 when she was taken to Auschwitz; she labored in the camp for four months. She now lives in London and had already received the first dose of her coronavirus vaccine when she caught the virus before she was able to get the second dose required for the vaccine to be fully effective.
