content: These images documents the "Malay Quarter"(now Bo Kaap), a predominantly Muslim area, in Cape Town in 1942 and 1943.  Many of the people living there had forebears that were brought by the Dutch East India Company to the region from the coasts of India and the Indonesian Islands as convicts and slaves in the eighteenth century.
