Excerpt from The Jew in South Africa Such prejudice, the respect enjoyed by the Jewish community of South Africa is not at all com mensurate with its services and its sacrifices for this country. So far, next to nothing has been done to collect the various data, statistics and early events of the various Jewish settlements. We are too busy making history to have time to write it, was the answer received from a leading South African Jew by an inquirer con cerning the beginnings of our earliest communi ties. The wisdom of that answer is on a par with its modesty. Verily, not in such a spirit of folly and conceit will we Zionists undertake to win for the Jew that respect which is due him from his neighbour. It is in the hope of enlist ing your assistance in this most important work of collecting the building-stones for a South African Jewish history that I venture to come before you, delegates of the First Annual Confer ence of the sa.

Seeking to force an entry into commerce and the distributive trades. Afrikaners and English alike found the way blocked by the Jews. Even the professions were becoming increasingly Jewish, especially medicine and law. The Jews, accused of isolating themselves within the community as a separate entity, are said to be indifferent or even hostile to the aspirations of Afrikanerdom.

Excerpt from Isban-Israel: A South African Story But enough of myself. I have promised to write down, as plainly as possible, the chain of events which transformed me from an hospital nurse into a woman of property.
