CHOL
Community History Online
Tuesday 28 January | 12pm
Geraldine Auerbach will tell the exciting story of how CHOL (Community History On-line) was conceived during the murky days of COVID, with the aim of preserving the footprint of South African Jewish communities in all their diversity via the Internet. Listen to how residents and former residents, now residing all over the world, conjure up the heydays of their communities and the people who made them tick from Beaufort West and Bellville via Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, to Worcester and Zimbabwe. As well as creating virtual communities, Geraldine will discuss how the CHOL website hosts personal memoirs and original stories as well as journal articles and other resources.
