Abstract
By the beginning of this century about 90 thousand Jews were living in the Republic of South Africa and about 80% of them - came from Lithuania. It so happened that among white population it was Jewish Diaspora which was most actively involved in the struggle against apartheid, vigorously supporting Mandela. The authorities persecuted the Jews as well as other fighters against racism. In those years documentary photography played very important role in political life of the country. It was widely and constantly used in the ideological struggle between the state and opponents of apartheid. Photography has played a crucial role in condemning the brutality and illegality of the existing system, primarily pictures of Nelson Mandela made by a Lithuanian Jew Eli Weinberg.
