IAJGS gratefully acknowledges the major contribution of Dr. Saul Issroff in the creation of the Africa section of the IAJGS International Jewish Cemetery Project.
Although many of the countries listed had no established Jewish community, there may have been a small number of Jewish residents and instances of Jewish burials. Please contact us if you have any information of this nature.
