THE STORY. AT A GLANCE.

South Africa is a country that is jaw-droppingly beautiful, with its natural beauty, powdery beaches, enthralling cultures, and incredible wildlife. Our journey will encompass both the country’s rugged beauty and an exploration of the human stories of the Rainbow Nation, a term coined to describe post-apartheid South Africa.

 

INSIDE OUT. JEWISH SOUTH AFRICA.

Between 1880-1920, Eastern European Jews were desperate to flee political persecution and pogroms in Europe. But how and why did so many end up in South Africa – to the extent that it became known as a Lithuanian colony? How did apartheid affect the Jews – and how was their status affected after the birth of the rainbow nation? We will examine the Jewish story in South Africa in all its complexity – then and now.
