Today, at Amir Kabir University in Iran Tehran, the morality police harassed her for wearing an improper hijab. In response, she took off her clothes in protest. It’s an act of incredible courage and, at the same time, heartbreaking. I’m deeply concerned for her well-being.
These women are the real freedom fighters.

With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Lily Ebert, a Hungarian-Jewish author, and Auschwitz survivor.
Lily was born on 29 December 1923 in Bonyhád. In July 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz.
Her mother Nina, younger brother Bela, and younger sister Berta were immediately murdered in gas chambers after arrival selection at Auschwitz.
Lily and her two other sisters were later transferred to an ammunition factory near Leipzig where they were liberated.
After the liberation, she traveled with her sisters to Switzerland. In 1953 Ebert was reunited with her other brother. The family emigrated to Israel where she married and had three children, before settling in London in 1967.
