Hieronymus Lorm (1821-1902) - the man who opened the world to the deafblind
The lecture will focus on the life of Hieronymus Lorm, a native of the Mikulov Jewish community. During his life he lost his hearing and gradually his sight. Despite this, he became a well-known writer, journalist and philosopher. He also went down in history as the author of the so-called Lorm's Alphabet. This system of communication based on
palm squeezes and touches is still used among the deaf-blind. During the screening, we will also show in practice Lorm's touch alphabet, how it works and how it can be easily learned. This communication system has spread in various modifications all over the world and is still used today.
