Only Hope:
My Mother and the Holocaust Brought to Light

Only Hope: A Survivor's Stories of the Holocaust book cover

Before she passed away in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her internment in Polish ghettos and in the Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen Nazi concentration camps. Her powerful stories have recently been published by her son, Irv Lubliner. He will share excerpts from “Only Hope: A Survivor's Stories of the Holocaust”, shedding light on his mother's experiences and indomitable spirit, as well as his experience as a child of Holocaust survivors and his process in bringing the book to fruition.

Irv Lubliner teaches math, music, and literature classes for the OLLI program at Southern Oregon University, where he also serves on the Council of Directors.
