Lawyers Without Rights
Book and traveling exhibit focusing on the discrimination, degradation and defiance of Jewish lawyers in Nazi Germany
Bring This Traveling Exhibit to Your Locale!
The traveling exhibit, Lawyers Without Rights: Jewish Lawyers in Germany Under the Third Reich, now comes in three different formats. All are similar in content and have between 22-25 panels. Individual exhibits can be displayed on frames, hanging on walls or pop-ups from the floor. There is no charge to host, and we pay for transport. If interested in learning more about how you can bring one of the formats to your region, contact the ABA Center for Global Programs staff.
Pop-up Format
This easy-to-set up format is available for a single venue in the Washington, D.C, area or at multiple locations through a special arrangement with the ABA. It can be transported in an SUV or van and be moved to different venues.
Framed Format
The original version’s format stands on frames roughly 8’ x 2 ½’ x 2 ½’ and has been displayed in more than 70 venues in the U.S. as well as Mexico and Canada. We arrange for transport and cover the costs.
Wall Panel
A collection of wall panels, now at Michigan State University College of Law in East Lansing, is adaptable and can be fitted on most any wall that can accommodate hanging exhibits. We will help you figure out if your venue is suitable for this format.
Lawyers Without Rights: The Fate of Jewish Lawyers in Berlin after 1933
Lawyers Without Rights is about the rule of law and how one government – the Third Reich in Germany – systematically undermined fair and just law through humiliation, degradation and legislation leading to expulsion of Jewish lawyers and jurists from the legal profession.
Purchase BookWhat People Are Saying
Lawyers Without Rights is a powerful work of history, commemorating Berlin's Jewish attorneys while also describing how they were barred from their profession and, in most cases, driven from their city.
