Before she died in 1974, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote powerful accounts of her internment in ghettos and concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland. Her son, Irv, compiled and published her stories as "Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust," contributing its foreword and afterword. He will share excerpts, reflecting on her strength, his own experience as a child of survivors, and the process of bringing her work to light. 

Susanne Severeid, host of an Emmy-winning PBS Holocaust documentary, said Felicia Lubliner "weaves beauty and humanity into her writing without sparing the grim details of Auschwitz."  Through his mother’s writings, the instructor invites you to journey back in time, to bear witness to the Holocaust, and to see history through the eyes of one who lived—and endured—it.
