Abstract 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. | ||
