Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State, saw its Jewish community take shape from the 1870s onward and grow considerably following the influx of Lithuanian immigrants in the wake of the pogroms of 1881–1882. The Jews of Bloemfontein played an active role in commerce and the liberal professions of the Boer colony and later the South African province.

The days of this book
