I was involuntary discharged from my last job, should I hide it to my new employer?

I've been working for Bank of America for 3 years and I was discharged from the bank early this year. My father had heart attack in China on Nov.2006, and he needed a lot of money otherwise the doctors would not perfrom the surgery for him in China. I was shocked when I first heard the news, and I used all my savings and had borrowed money from relatives and friends and even overdrawn my credit cards in order to get the money for my father. Because of this incident, I stopped go to work without notify my manager because I lost my mind and didn't know what to do. After serveral days probably more than a week, I finally called my manager and told him the tragedy, and he told me to filed a leave of absense if I had to returned to China. I did filed the leave of absense and then I flew to China and stayed there for 3 months. My father eventully died on Feb. 2007. When I came back I found out that I had been discharged because my leave of absence was denied since I didn't provide evidence.
