Before she died in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her internment in ghettos and concentration camps (Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen) in Nazi-occupied Poland. Her son, Irv, who published and contributed the foreword and afterword to her book, will share excerpts from “Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust,” shedding light on his mother’s fortitude and indomitable spirit. You will learn about the Holocaust through the eyes of a survivor, as well as how the instructor, the child of two survivors, was impacted by his parents' experiences.

Moderator: Irv Lubliner teaches math, music, and literature classes for OLLI at Southern Oregon University (SOU). An emeritus SOU professor specializing in mathematics 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 85 other OLLIs nationwide.
