Description
Arthur Lerman’s family immigrated from the Ukraine and developed a chain of Kentucky department stores known as the Lerman Bros. Department Stores. The family of Martha Vories and Rose Ann Stacy immigrated from Germany and established Muth’s Candies. This exhibit discusses how these two immigration stories are similar but saw very different outcomes.
