OCHBERG ORPHANS EXHIBITION

COMING DECEMBER 2026

​

Isaac Ochberg saved almost 200 Jewish orphans from the pogroms of Eastern Europe. With the help of the South African Jewish community, he gave them a chance to rebuild their broken lives.

​

In December 2026, the SA Jewish Museum will open an exhibition dedicated to Isaac Ochberg and the lives of those he saved. The exhibition, drawn from first-person accounts, will share how acts of courage can shape the future in ways no one could have imagined.

​

The SA Jewish Museum is proud to tell their story, but we need your help.
