Lawyers Without Rights

The State Bar of Georgia will host “Lawyers Without Rights,” an exhibition that provides the historic account of the lives and fates of Jewish lawyers during Nazi rule in Germany.  An estimated 1,000 of 3,000 Jewish lawyers practicing in Germany at the time were killed.  Others were imprisoned or forced to flee.  The destruction of Germany’s legal system set the stage for the Holocaust.

Since it was first displayed in 2000, “Lawyers Without Rights” has been shown in more than 70 cities in Germany and all over the world, including Boston and Chicago.
