There is courage and there is sacrifice, and Ruth Belonsky’s life is an example of both. Born into the world of Apartheid in South Africa, she grew up in an area called East London near Cape Town, segregated like everywhere in that Country. A child of immigrants from Germany, she believes that hearing stories of how her family escaped from the Nazis, motivated her to seek ways to end the laws separating people by race and color. As a young adult she entered politics and was elected to her City Council, all the while secretly participating in what were illegal activities that brought Blacks and Whites together. Listen to her telling of harrowing stories, and to her outspoken commitments against Apartheid, which eventually led to her and her family being forced to leave South Africa to save their lives. Today, in Los Angeles, California, she continues a life of social activism bringing people together across faiths and races to create a more just society.
