Jewish Life in the South African Country Communities Vol IV

This volume in the South African Friends of Beth Hatefutsoth series documenting the story of the Jewish presence in the South African small towns and country areas, encompasses the entire province of KwaZulu-Natal.

The Jewish story in rural Natal is really less about institutions than about individuals - hoteliers, farmers, shopkeepers, professional people, soldiers and others who played a far from insignificant role in the development of their localities. In common with Jews in the rest of the country, Natal's Jews made an impact out of proportion with their small numbers.
