Facing History's Annual Survivor Luncheon
Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 1-3 p.m.
Facing History- 16 Hurd Road, Brookline, MA 02445
Special Guest : Leslie Gilbert-Lurie, TV executive, lawyer and  author of  “Bending Toward the Sun”  a touching memoir that speaks of the lessons passed to  the second  and third generation of  Holocaust survivors.

A miraculous lesson in courage and recovery, Bending Toward the Sun  tells the story of a unique family bond forged in the wake of brutal terror. Weaving together the voices of three generations of women, Leslie Gilbert-Lurie and her mother, Rita Lurie, provide powerful—and inspiring—evidence of the resilience of the human spirit, relevant to every culture in every corner of the world. By turns unimaginably devastating and incredibly uplifting, this firsthand account of survival and psychological healing offers a strong, poignant message of hope in our own uncertain times.
