Esther J.

Along with Louis Horch, who was a director and financier of the Master Institute, Lichtmann was greatly involved in the Roerich Circle, which was instrumental in the development and passage of the Roerich pact, an inter-American treaty which ensured the protection and defense of cultural and artistic monuments from military destruction, and was signed into law by Roosevelt in 1935.
