King Charles has paid tribute to the “extraordinary resilience and courage” of the Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert, who has died at the age of 100.

Ebert was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, where her mother and two younger siblings were sent immediately to the gas chambers. Ebert and two other sisters survived the Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.
