| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/10234 A history of the Jewish community of Potchefstroom and environs Cheifitz, Paul History Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 135-141). This study builds on a range of archival sources and traces the history of Potchefstroom Jewry from the mid-nineteenth century to 2008. Beginning with the immigrant experience the processes of assimilation, acculturation and secularization are explored. The Jewish community developed in parallel with the fortunes of the town until external factors prompted the departure of individuals and families to other centres. The inner workings of the communal organizations and the role of functionaries are investigated, as is the individual experience. 2014-12-27T14:11:53Z 2014-12-27T14:11:53Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10234 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
