dc.description.abstractIn Accra, two houses represent two distinct places that portray memories of a Jewish origin. One of them is the stool house of the royal Nikolai family. On a mural the wanderings of the Ga-Adangme ancestors from Israel into West Africa is portrayed. The other house holds the burial place of Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Danish Jew who settled in Osu in 1836. In this article, I will compare the two narratives and reflect on how both contribute to a contemporary Jew-ish myth of the origin of the Ga-Adangme-speaking peoples of Ghana.en_US
