Lily Ebert, taken to Auschwitz in 1944, spent her later years educating people about the Holocaust.
A 100-year-old Holocaust survivor, whose story became famous as she searched for the family of a solider who saved her, has died.
Hungarian-born Lily Ebert, who lived in north-west London, was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944 with her family when she was 20.
Her story went viral four years ago when she tried to find out more about the American soldier who liberated her from a death march in Germany.
Ms Ebert was praised by the King and received an MBE for services to Holocaust education.

Ms Ebert’s great-grandson, Dov Forman, wrote on X: “[Her] story touched hundreds of millions worldwide, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit and the dangers of unchecked hatred.
“She was the queen of our large, loving family.
“A light that shone so brightly has gone dark. She was our hero”.
Ms Ebert is survived by a daughter and son, 10 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
