More than 40 years ago, a group of Teaneck residents, children of Holocaust survivors, joined forces and created an annual Holocaust commemoration to honor the memories of those who were lost and to celebrate the lives of those who survived.
At 98, Lily Ebert is perhaps the oldest user of the video-sharing social network app, TikTok.
However, unlike many influencers who post trivial videos on cars, life lessons and heartbreaks, Ebert uses the platform to describe the horrors of the Holocaust.
And the viewers receive her videos with love and appreciation. A clip of Ebert showing her identification number tattoo got more than 20 million views.
Ebert’s tattoo has the number A-10572 on her forearm. “We were not humans. We were only a number,” she said in her video.
