13 Drivers’ Licenses
 is a powerful exhibit that brings to light the individual stories of 
thirteen Jewish residents of Lichtenfels, Germany, who were persecuted 
during the Nazi regime. The exhibit began with an extraordinary 
discovery: thirteen original driver’s licenses found in an old building 
in the small Bavarian town of Lichtenfels. Once uncovered, the licenses 
were entrusted to a local high school teacher, who recognized their 
historical significance and transformed the find into a meaningful 
research project for his students.
Over the course of several months, 
the students carefully investigated each name, ultimately tracing and 
connecting with the descendants of all thirteen individuals. Through 
their work, long-silenced lives were restored and remembered.
<img src="https://jccmw.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lisa-Salko-Debra-Cohen-300x292.jpg.webp" srcset="https://jccmw.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lisa-Salko-Debra-Cohen-300x292.jpg.webp 300w, https://jccmw.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lisa-Salko-Debra-Cohen-768x747.jpg.webp 768w, https://jccmw.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lisa-Salko-Debra-Cohen.jpg.webp 800w">The program will feature Lisa Salko,
 a descendant of three of the recovered licenses, who will share this 
remarkable story and reflect on its personal and historical impact.
Following the presentation, 
participants will enjoy a falafel lunch in honor of David (Dugo) 
Leitner, a Holocaust survivor. Each year at this time, through the 
global event of Operation Dugo, we pay tribute to Dugo’s life and resilience by sharing falafel as a tribute to survival, remembrance, and hope.
