Holocaust survivor wishes Tik Tok a Shabbat Shalom and gets spammed with antisemitic hate
Lily Ebert is 97. Her great-grandson, Dov Forman, helped her create a Tik Tok account so she could tell its youthful community about surviving Auschwitz.
On May 14, instead of one of her pithy recollections, Ebert had a simple message for 90,000 followers, delivered from her London home: Wishing you a lovely, peaceful weekend, she said, and repeated a similar wish in Hungarian, her native language. She added Shabbat Shalom.
Her account was flooded with hateful messages, many of them holding her responsible for the military conflict between Israel and Hamas that broke out May 9 and ended last week.
Ask her if she thinks the treatment of Palestinians reminds her [of] the treatment she got in the camp, one commenter said.
Happy Holocaust, said another.
