Seeking information on early Jewish landsleit in South Africa

Published

on

David Solly Sandler, Australia

My next compilation will be on South African landmanschaften (Jewish sick and benefit societies/associations of the early 20th century).

In South Africa, there were mutual-aid societies/associations/landsleit from many mainly Lithuanian towns, including Anykster, Birzer, Chelm, Dwinsk, Keidan, Kelmer, Kovno, Krakinowo, Kroze, Kupisker, Kurland, Riga, Lutzin, Malat, Minsk, Ponevez, Poswohl, Plungian, Rakishok, Schavlaner, Schawler, Shater, Tels, Utianer, Wilner, and Zagare.

While I have published booklets on Keidan and Krakinowo, and have booklets on Ponevez and Malat, I am appealing for information and any other publications on these landsleit or any others from South Africa. I am also seeking publications regarding any Jewish communities in Johannesburg.

If you can help, please contact David Solly Sandler at sedsand@iinet.net.au

    ‘I read with interest today that you have written and published a booklet covering the history of immigration from Krakinowo to South Sfrica. My grandfather immigrated in 1900 and I would like to buy if possible the Krakinowo booklet.
