This file is the third part of the file "Fritz Flesch - Correspondence on South African Jewry and Apartheid politics ". The file contains correspondence of Fritz Flesch with newspapers and representatives of Jewish communities exchanged between 1956 and and 1965 regarding the position of South African Jewry on the country’s Apartheid policies.
