This Virtual cemetery has been created for the Kimberley Jewish Heritage Group (KJHG) by Larry Galansky in honour of his father Sam Galansky. Grateful thanks go to Larry from Kimberley Residents and Ex-Pats.

It is connected to the Kimberley Jewish Community Website, created by Geraldine Auerbach and Eli Rabinowitz from 2013 which documents the history of Diamond City Jews with historic timelines, family stories, and religious, business and cultural life. Click the link above. (If you would like your Kimberley family story included, send details to Kimberley Jewish Heritage Group).

The Kimberley Jewish Community website and Virtual Cemetery are both constituents of CHOL – Southern African Jewish ‘Community History On-Line’. Click on the CHOL logo (right) to connect to www.chol.website.
