Lily Ebert, a 97-year-old Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp survivor who survived the most brutal genocide in human history and was first diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) in January, has once again shown resilience to overcome the virus and recovered successfully.
According to NBC 25, Albert’s 17-year-old great-grandson, Dov Forman, shared a photo of his great-grandmother’s recovery on Twitter and described it as a “miraculous recovery”.
Forman said he and his father were diagnosed with martial lung in April 2020, but his great-grandmother remained healthy until December last year when she began to feel ill and tested positive for the virus in January this year, after which she spent three weeks at Home recuperating, with doctors visiting her London apartment every day to make sure she was taking all the necessary medication.
Foreman recalled that the Family did not want Abbott to end up in the hospital, fearing they would not be able to see her one last Time. But we knew that she never gave up on anything else in Life either, she was a true survivor, a true fighter, and we knew she could pull through and she didn’t give up, and that’s what happened, thank God, she got back to health,” he said.”
Recalling how he felt, Albert stated, “I was tired and sleepy. I don’t know why, but it was frustrating. You can’t do anything, and it’s such a terrible feeling.”
After defeating the martial lung virus, Abbott encouraged people to never give up hope for life in tough times, and she planned to write her memoirs.
In July 1944, at the age of 14, Albert, her mother and siblings were expelled by the Nazis from the small town of Bonyhad, Hungary, and sent to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp in southern Poland. After escaping death in April 1945, Albert went to Switzerland and later lived in Israel, where he married and had three children before moving to London in 1967.
