South African Activist, Helen Suzman, daughter of Lithuanian-Jewish immigrants died at the age of 91. She died January 1, 2009. She was an anti-apartheid activist, constantly fighting for the rights of the Black majority, and fighting against their repression.
Her humanitarianism battles were often solitary, and she stood alone, with her staunch fight and tireless efforts. The world has lost a great advocate for justice.
May she rest in peace…and may her memory be for a Loving Blessing.

Thanks for this post. I wanted to write a post about Helen Suzman but had too little time for research before Shabbat.

I didn’t feel that her efforts should go unnoticed.
