The first two volumes, part of the unique on-going research project of South
African Friends of Beth Hatefutsoth (or the Museum of the Jewish Diaspora), have
enjoyed great success among readers, both in South Africa and abroad.
Volume One focused on the northern and eastern Transvaal areas (mainly
comprising today's Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces). Volume Two
focused on the Western Cape. The final instalments will cover the Free
State and KwaZulu-Natal, and the southern Gauteng area, including the
various towns on the East and West Rand.
The third volume of Jewish Life in the South African Country Communities,
chronicling the history of the once strong and now largely vanished Jewish
presence in the smaller towns and rural districts of South Africa, has now been
published.
The book starts with the earliest settlement of Jews in South Africa, before and
including the 1820 Settlers. The areas covered in the new volume include the
Garden Route, Little Karoo, the Cape-Midlands, Overberg and Settler country.
The publication is sought after Africana and is of interest to all those, Jews
and others, who lived in the country towns and shared their lives, as well as
those who holidayed in the area. It will also appeal to historians,
genealogists, and librarians. The research covers almost 1500 small towns and
villages in South Africa where Jews lived. No village, hamlet or railway siding
has been too small; so long as there has been a Jewish presence there, every
location has found its way into the record. In addition to recording the story
of the various Jewish communities, it also recounts the history of the places in
which they lived.
The book also includes many colorful anecdotes of life in the country towns and
villages, as well as numerous hitherto unpublished photographs. New Condition.
Printed on heavy glossy paper. (k-mx-1-18)
$210.00 for all three large volumes, over 1200 pages total.
