History of the Jews in Namibia : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Jews in Namibia
The Jews in Namibia have a history lasting a little more than one and a half centuries. Non-existent in Namibia before the 19th century, Jews played an important if minor role in the history of Namibia since that point in time, despite their continuous small population.〔 Some Namibian Jews even managed to become famous, such as "businessman, philanthropist and Jewish communal leader" Harold Pupkewitz (1915–2012).〔 ==History (19th century-1965)==
In the mid-19th century, Jewish merchants from Cape Town named the De Pass brothers became the first Jews in what is now Namibia when they established a trading post on the Nawaqualand Coast.〔 The De Pass brothers began the Pomona Copper Company in Pomona, Namibia in 1861.〔 After Namibia became a German colony in the late 19th century, more Jews established connections (such as business ventures) in Namibia.〔 However, under German rule, only about 100 Jews lived in Namibia, most of whom lived in Swakopmund.〔 After the German defeat in World War I, the newly created League of Nations gave South Africa a mandate over Namibia.〔 The Jewish population of Namibia (which had close relations with the Jews in South Africa) began increasing after this point, and there were 400 to 500 Jews living in Namibia (mostly in Windhoek) in 1965 (Jews were still less than one percent of the total White population in Namibia during this time, though).〔
