THIS MUST BE THE PLACE

Why have South African Jews who emigrated to Britain had such a big impact on British society? We investigated for our October 2014 issue. Denis Herbstein shared the story of the London-based Defence & Aid Fund, which helped save many ANC members from the gallows; while Janet Suzman, David Lan, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and others told us how their South African origin has influenced their lives. Plus, our Scottish readers told us why they’re breathing easier following the vote on independence, Angela Levine reopened the questions behind Rembrandt’s Jewish works, Andrew Pulver reported on an Israeli football photo project, and much more.
