Jewish Life in the South African Country Communities – Volume III was researched by the South African Friends of Beth Hatefutsoth, affiliated to Beth Hatefutsoth, the Nahum Goldmann Museum of the Jewish Diaspora in Tel Aviv. It was published by the South African Friends of Beth Hatefutsoth in Johannesburg in 2007, edited by Ruth Rehbock and Isabelle Delvare, and printed by Tien Wah Press in Singapore. This copy is a substantial large-format paperback.
Jewish Life covers the Camdeboo, Cape Midlands, Garden Route, Griqualand East and Transkei, Langkloof, Little Karoo, North Eastern Cape, Overberg and Settler Country. As the copyright page explains, the book sets out the research undertaken on each place where there has been a Jewish presence, arranged as a directory. It is illustrated with historic photographs, and the maps are by MapStudio, with map information by CJ Voster. The cover shows a horse-drawn Central Hotel cart outside the hotel.
Jewish Life records the Jewish families, businesses and congregations of South Africa’s smaller towns, many of which have since changed or disappeared. Volume III brings that record to the Eastern and Southern Cape and the old Transkei, regions where country Jewish life is otherwise thinly documented.
Jewish Life in the South African Country Communities – Volume III will suit researchers of South African Jewish history, genealogists and family historians tracing relatives in the Cape country towns, local historians of the Karoo, Garden Route and Eastern Cape, and collectors of Africana and Judaica.
