About This Item
([Johannesburg]: South African Jewish Board of Deputies, 2011) 9780620506137. 4to; original grey cloth with black cloth back, lettered in silver gilt on spine and in black and blind on upper cover; pp. (ii) + vii + (i) + 259 + (iii), incl. index; profusely illustrated. Fine condition. The best photographic record we have yet seen of the life of Mandela, this book also provides a vivid reminder of how many members of South Africa's Jewish community played an important part in the anti-apartheid struggle. "Jewish Memories of Mandela offers a fresh perspective of the story of Nelson Mandela and the anti-apartheid struggle as seen through the lives and recollections of Jewish South Africans who were a part of it. It gives new insights into such well-known personalities as Helen Suzman, Ali Bacher, Joe Slovo, Sol Kerzner, Tony Leon and Arthur Chaskalson and their role in South Africa's democratic transformation." .
