OLLI FREE SPECIAL EVENT

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 later by her son, Irv Lubliner, professor emeritus at Southern Oregon University. Irv will share excerpts from “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, as well as how the instructor, the child of two survivors, was impacted by his parents’ experiences.

Class limit: 50
