ZOOM - Only Hope: My Mother and the Holocaust Brought to Light (Repeat from 2023 with no changes)
Course | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST
Before she passed away in 1974, Felicia Lubliner wrote about her internment in ghettos and concentration camps (Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen) in Nazi-occupied Poland. Her powerful stories have been published by her son, Irving Lubliner, who also contributed the foreword and afterword to “Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust.” He will share excerpts, shedding light on his mother’s experiences and indomitable spirit, as well as his own experience as a child of Holocaust survivors. He will pause during and after his presentation to invite questions and discussion. Registrants are invited to visit onlyhopebook.com, where they can get more information and, if interested, purchase the book. However, this is not necessary for participation in the course.
