"I am chairman of the Chevra Kadisha in Benoni, South Africa. I have listed all the graves in our cemetery. As we were until recently a vibrant community, the cemetery is very well maintained. Most of the headstones are in good condition. I am at present listing the Jewish names of the 900 persons buried in our section starting from about 1912. We have only 50 Jewish families left in our city, out of 450 a few years ago." Source: This email address is being protected from spambots.
