Scope and Content
This file is the second part of the file "Fritz Flesch - Correspondence on South African Jewry and Apartheid politics I". The file contains correspondence of Fritz Flesch with newspapers and representatives of Jewish communities exchanged between 1957 and and 1963 regarding the position of South African Jewry on the country’s Apartheid policies. Flesch considered their attitude not critical enough and claimed public Anti-Apartheid interventions from their part as well from the part of international Jewish representatives. He wrote letters to institutions, like the World Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Congress, the South African Institute of Race Relations, the Theodor Herzl Institute, the Allgemeine Wochenzeitung der Juden in Deutschland, and the European Board of the World Union for Progressive Judaism. Among his correspondence partner are also various representatives of Jewish communities in the United States. The correspondences are mostly typewritten, including numerous paper clippings.
