The Assassin: A Story of Race and Rage in the Land of Apartheid

Dan Jacobson; Henk Van Woerden

ISBN: 9780805066319
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
Publication Date: 2001
Binding: Hardcover

The untold and heartbreaking account of the man who killed South Africa's architect of apartheid, one of the most dramatic political assassinations in modern history.
If ever one individual could be said to have embodied the tragedy of apartheid, Dimitri Tsafendas would be that man. At a time when color was all, Tsafendas, bastard son of a Greek father and an African mother, was untouchable -- too black for the whites and too white for the blacks. Stateless, homeless, and loveless, on September 6, 1966, he entered South Africa's Parliament and stabbed Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd four times with a long knife, killing the architect of apartheid, the architect of Tsafendas's misery.
Now, in a masterful restoration, Henk Van Woerden re-creates the assassin's cursed life and the impossibly torn society that created him. Unwanted by black or white family, denied the right to settle wherever he turns, Tsafendas drifts from sea to prison, from kitchen hand to street vendor, from Mozambique to Greece and Canada, and back to South Africa. With sensitivity and passion, Van Woerden traces the inexorable road that leads to Verwoerd's death, and reveals that the assassination -- a resounding blow in the war against apartheid -- was not the random act of a crazed individual, but perhaps the only choice left in a country itself gone mad.
Powerful, tragic, and compelling, The Assassin is both a devastating indictment of oppression and a cautionary tale of the explosive power of racial hatred everywhere.

Heshel's Kingdom

Dan Jacobson

ISBN: 9780810117044
Publisher: Northwestern Univ Pr
Publication Date: 1999
Binding: Hardcover

The orthodox rabbi Heshel Melamed's sudden death by heart attack in 1919 set his widow and children free to leave Lithuania, the country that he insisted be their home. In light of the Holocaust twenty years later, his death became, ironically, a gift of life: Heshel Melamed's family left Europe before the war and settled safely in South Africa. In Heshel's Kingdom, Dan Jacobson recounts his journey in the 1990s to post-Communist Lithuania where he searched for traces of his grandfather Heshel's world. More than a genealogical narrative, however, this deeply personal memoir becomes at times a philosophical tableau of secularism, religion, family, and modern Judaism. Jacobson meditates on his grandfather, communes with history's darkness -- and, where possible, its illumination -- and attempts to understand the individual mortal soul's reflection in human kinship.
