Only Hope: My Mother and the Holocaust Brought to Light
Thurs., Feb. 26, 1-3 p.m.
Time: 1-3 p.m.
Location: Online
Cost: FREE to OLLI members
With Irv Lubliner, Professor Emeritus
Before she died in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her internment in ghettos and concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland. These powerful stories were published by her son Irv Lubliner. He will share excerpts from the book, Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust, shedding light on his mother’s fortitude and indomitable spirit, as well as his own experience as a child of Holocaust survivors. You will learn about the Holocaust through the eyes of a survivor, and how the instructor — the child of two survivors — was impacted by his parents’ experiences.
Class #: 23928
Registration opens for OLLI members on Feb. 3. Non-members may register starting Feb. 9.
