REB & REBEL: EARLY JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA 1892-1913 7.30-9pm, £20, £16 web advance

COLIN BROWN & DR HELEN FRY

CARMEL SCHRIRE

In WW2, the clock ticked in the race to build the first atomic bomb. Although Hitler did not succeed, his scientists were kidnapped and taken up by the Allies. What secrets did they reveal to the Allies? How close was Hitler to succeeding with atomic weapons?

Author and political journalist Colin Brown shares his views with Dr Helen Fry.

Reb & Rebel is an annotated description of three manuscripts written by a father and son, about South African Jewish settlement at the turn of the century. The older two render the transition from Lithuania to Africa in a strongly opinionated and humorous way that defies their age. The third is a tour de force of Jewish geography that describes coming of age in District Six, Cape Town. Carmel will show how they illuminate the Jewish diasporic experience in a fresh new light.
