Qesher Book Club: ‘Shalom Uganda’
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher hosts a book club event featuring Janice Masur’s “Shalom Uganda: A Jewish Community on the Equator.” The book recounts Masur’s experience growing up in a small Ashkenazi Jewish community in Kampala, Uganda, from 1949 to 1961, under British Imperial rule. Despite the community’s efforts to maintain their Jewish identity, it eventually withered, and Masur’s book serves as the only scholarship documenting Kampala’s European Jewry.
