Before she passed away in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her internment in ghettos and concentration camps (Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen) in Nazi-occupied Poland. Her powerful stories have been published by her son, Irving Lubliner, who also contributed the foreword and afterword to Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust. He will share excerpts, shedding light on his mother’s experiences and indomitable spirit, as well as his own experience as a child of Holocaust survivors. He will pause during and after his presentation to invite questions and discussion.

Moderator: Irving Lubliner teaches math, music, and literature classes for OLLI at Southern Oregon Univ. (SOU). An emeritus SOU professor specializing in math education, he taught for 40 years (all levels, kindergarten through graduate school), led seminars for teachers in 39 states, and gave 350 conference presentations, including several keynote addresses. He has given this presentation for 83 other OLLIs nationwide.
