Lawyers without Rights: Jewish Lawyers in Germany under the Third Reich, An Exhibit

Exhibit Details:

More than 70 years after its horrors unfolded, the Holocaust still has stories to reveal and lessons to share. This exhibit begins to provide a portrait of the fate of Jewish lawyers in Germany – stories that speak to how the Nazis purged Jewish lawyers as one of the early steps to attack the rule of law in their country.

Free and open to the public.
