I remember Sacks Futuran. We bought all our clothes and shoes at that store. Beautiful memories of a lovely Jewish family who owned that store❤❤

Wow I am from the Cape and did not know about this. Fascinating. Thankyou ❤❤❤❤

As a very young teenager at the time, I remember all the Jewish shops in the main road of District 6. The Jewish shop owners were humble and very respectful, towards their Moslem and Christian neighbors. It was such a pleasure to see how well the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities lived together, and how they supported each other. The Moslems owned exclusive Tailor shops in the main road too and were well supported by Jews and Christians. Everything changed for the worst when the Apartheid Government came into power and created division amongst citizens who were awesome neighbors and friends for decades! The ANC Government hates Jews. What a shame! The hatred towards the Jewish people of South Africa is so disgusting! We pray that God will restore the peace that we once had in beautiful Cape Town! Amen.

As a jew I never knew about jews in District 6. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 Shalom.

As a son of immigrants I appreciate the sacrifices made by previous generations.Hope to live in harmony forever.

District 6 could've looked been much,much better than Dubai today if only ......... 😭😭😭😭 One day is one day our culturally split country shall prosper .Lord please come and clean our brains of all the wicked in it I beg🙏🏼

I'm an American living here in South Africa. I use to work at the National Archives in Pretoria and was recording all the many records there. I noticed many Jews had come from Lithuania and made a home here. I bought a book on the early Jews who came to South Africa and the wonderful difference they have made to the society here. I'm glad to have found this video. God bless you, your memories and community.

Beautiful and bitter sweet film - South Africa really is a melting pot of people and cultures to be celebrated!

When I saw the demolitions I was like.... Why?.... Why?...... Now if you think of the Cape Flats and various townships where people were redistributed to, there is mostly devastation, fear, danger, crime and violent death, resulting in the incarceration of youth. 😔

Absolutely amazing.

Enjoyed this, and on a different note in UK if it wasn't for the Jews Hampstead, Golders Green, Hendon and Edgware would be another suburb, I thank you very much

Too bad the current South African government isn't trying to bring back or foster or push or encourage for multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities to return or re-establish around the country. All the stories I hear of people who lived in district six are of non-racialism and living in peace with one another. Some political parties are just sowing division among South Africans :(

True. Would have been really nice if district six and such places would be rebuilt, with Maboneng inspiration in mind.

Totally Kool Dude

Still happening today in another part of the world.

I just laugh at the people, in the comments, who do not know that there used to be Jews living in District 6. I saw in a book a picture of a synagogue. Some aunties recollecting their memories of how they used tease some Jewish shop owners/their wifes who can't speak English or Afrikaans properly. 🤣🤣🤣

So, do these people get some kind of recompense?

So sad 😞

Thanks very interesting ,the buildings sadly looked like they needed to go.today we hear of old infrastructure collapsing on people.im sure theses types of things caused alot of trouble socially but sometimes it happens it's still happening today where forigeners and illigal immigrants live in old hostels which eventually become dangerous.Very interesting story.I personally do not see everything about seperate development as a bad thing ,as many local tribes and people did not loose thier culture and languages as fast as it's happening today.In a way it preserved some things for the future generations, the new government has not in my oppinon brought people together anymore than apartheid apparently divided us .I actually had better relationships with people from other cultural backgrounds during apartheid than I do today . I went to a Catholic school so "apartheid" never really effected me.I was raised by a Xhosa lady for the first years of my life.I personally have never felt apart from anyone.Sadly the new culture developing in South Africa is way to influenced by(English) American media .This now seems to me to be a type of colonial time more than anything historically.local trade and business and culture is being destroyed by consumer international culture.big business fast food and plastic from this .The little corner stores, pad stalls ,home made goods ,and crafts have drastically declined.Sundays are not quite anymore .

Firstly Apartheid didn't effect you negatively because you ware white. Secondly the Xhosa lady was probably your domestic /meit. Yes the country was in a better state than now but people of color still suffer today because of it. Majority whites still benefit from apartheids inequality through generational wealth.

@@cdcarelse796 shame sorry. I personally think only Jesus can help this country ,I understand ,yes, if the African elected government had done better for it's natives African decendent people you would have room to cry . I personally think maybe the Bantu Stan's would have worked better than the ANC government which chooses not to see coloured and mixed people and( people from European/ mixed ancestry as you might know most white people have 4%mixed ancestry with Khoi San or free slaves or slaves ) who Whether we like it or Not contributed to the country be it for good or bad depending on our opinions as it's fellow African citizens . If the Xhosa lady was not working for us she would of had to raise her children alone without an income place to stay or food ,because the father or father's were" missing in action "somewhere . I'm sure you know apartheid was implemented by the only foreign born priminister of the country and was abolished by a native of hugenot decent de Klerk .People are influenced by bad ideas no matter the skin colour .I don't think the current government has done any better and everything that was built by our ancestors has gone into a state of disrepair and decay .I personally like nature so if nature takes over I'm ok with that .You can't blame the past almost 30 years later ! The ANC was given a country that was never like it was before with rail systems and roads functioning water and electricity systems these things all came from overseas .not that I personally like them but it's use full for people who seek education and western imported ideas because they have forsaken thier own traditional lives and culture.im sorry that black South Africans never really had a good chance in South Africa because now it's totally overun by foreigners because the current government doesn't know how to govern ,even his own farm was broken into 😅 whatever . My hope is in heaven . Jesus is building a mansion for me Im not going to cry about this country as the scriptures say I'm also just a foreigner here in this world. Have a nice day lets not fight . I suppose some of what wrote might seem offensive I'm not sure . Here it goes .I personally don't think generational accumulated wealth is a problem ,if your parents are wise enough to store up for thier kids like the Bible says I agree. Some parents are careless and don't care for the next generations to come .done parents don't even care about the current generation.

What was achieved???

I had no idea there were Jews in the Cape.

Why jews leave South africa?? 😥😥😥

poignant and so sad.

Those ppl r not Jew stop lying.

South African accent sounds horrible.
