Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust

with Irv Lubliner

Online via Zoom
Free & open to all

Before she passed away in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her life in Nazi-occupied Poland during the Holocaust, including her internment in ghettos and two concentration camps, Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen.  Her powerful stories have been published by her son, Irv Lubliner, an emeritus professor at Southern Oregon University.  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.  The instructor will pause during and after his presentation to invite questions and discussion. Participants are invited to visit onlyhopebook.com for additional information or to purchase the book.

Irv Lubliner teaches math, blues harmonica, and literature classes for the OLLI program at Southern Oregon University (SOU).  An emeritus Southern Oregon University professor specializing in mathematics education, he taught for 40 years (at all levels, kindergarten through graduate school), led seminars for teachers in 39 states, and gave over 350 conference presentations, including several keynote addresses.  In 2019, he created Felabra Press and published his mother’s writings about her experiences during the Holocaust, the book that will serve as the theme for this presentation.
