Glenn Frankel's book Rivonia's Children discusses the lives of three specific white families and their children who were involved in the anti-apartheid movement alongside figures like Nelson Mandela. The three families featured are the Bernsteins (Hilda and Rusty), the Slovos (Ruth First and Joe Slovo), and the Wolpes (AnnMarie and Harold Wolpe). Their children, such as Toni, Patrick, Frances, and Keith Bernstein, are mentioned in the context of the difficult and often separated family lives that resulted from their parents' activism.
