Custodial history
Scope and content
South Africa was the fifth hardest afflicted country worldwide during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 -1919 with most deaths occurring during October 1918. Within the South African Jewish community, at least 1 in every 200 persons died from the Influenza. Most were young adults in their early thirties. Many were breadwinners and many children lost a parent. The documents include death certificates and memorabilia which highlight the devastating effect of the pandemic on the community.
