About this ebook
Safta’s Last Promise follows sixteen-year-old Dov as he helps his great-grandmother Lily, a Holocaust survivor, preserve her testimony in the face of time and a pandemic. Tender, urgent and intimate, the book alternates Lily’s childhood memories of family, faith and survival with Dov’s present-day efforts to share her story through social media. Together they confront memory, loss and the responsibility of passing witness to younger generations.
