The lens of apartheid-era Jewish commemorations of the Holocaust in
South Africa reveals the fascinating transformation of a diasporic
community. Through the prism of Holocaust memory, this book
examines South African Jewry and its ambivalent position as a
minority within the privileged white minority. Grounded in research
in over a dozen archives, the book provides a rich empirical
account of the centrality of Holocaust memorialization to the
community's ongoing struggle against global and local antisemitism.
Most of the chapters focus on white perceptions of the Holocaust
and reveals the tensions between the white communities in the
country regarding the place of collective memories of suffering in
the public arena. However, the book also moves beyond an insular
focus on the South African Jewish community and in very different
modality investigates prominent figures in the anti-apartheid
struggle and the role of Holocaust memory in their fascinating
journeys towards freedom.
