On December 7, 2025, a powerful gathering formed outside the Cape Town Holocaust Centre. People created a “living ring of memory,” protesting the Gaza conflict with signs, improvised teachins, and shared stories. This vibrant circle blended past horrors with present cries, as printed legal documents and old traditions mingled. The event became a poignant testament to how history and current events can collide, leaving an unforgettable mark on the pavement and in people’s hearts.
On a cold Sunday at Cape Town’s historic Castle of Good Hope, hundreds gathered to remember Nakba Day the 1948 Palestinian displacement. The ancient fortress, once a symbol of colonial power, was filled with vibrant Palestinian colors, heartfelt speeches, and powerful art linking the struggles of Palestinians with South Africa’s fight against apartheid. Calls for justice, peace, and solidarity echoed through the crowd, reminding everyone that these fights for freedom are connected across continents. The rally was not just about remembering the past, but about standing together for a fairer future.
