Lilly Malnik’s young granddaughter, Miriam, couldn’t help but ask about the tattoo on her arm. The series of numbers was inked on Lilly’s body at Auschwitz when she was 15. Over the years, Lilly shared more and more of her painful Holocaust experiences with her granddaughter. Now, together they answer questions from a new generation, reaching millions on social media with Lilly’s story. Join us as we commemorate Grandparents Day with Lilly and Miriam Ezagui.
