Drivers' Licenses is a portable exhibit that tells the individual
stories of thirteen Jewish citizens who were persecuted during the Nazi
regime in Lichtenfels, Germany. The story behind this exhibit is
extraordinary. After a discovery was made in an old building in the
small Bavarian village of Lichtenfels of thirteen driving licenses that
once belonged to Jewish citizens, these licenses were handed over to a
local high school teacher. The teacher decided to seize this rare
opportunity as a way to ignite a research project for his students. The
students for the next several months diligently worked on this project
until they were able to locate all of the familial descendants. The
students reached out to these families and notified them about their
findings. In this compelling lecture and accompanying pop-up exhibition,
Lisa Salko will recount how the high schoolers got in touch with her
and how she traveled to Germany to unveil a lost chapter of her family
history.
*** Please note all guests must provide proof of vaccination for COVID
