Join us on Galveston Unscripted as we uncover the story of the Galveston Movement, a joint effort by Jewish organizations to bring Jewish immigrants to Texas through the Port of Galveston. Learn how this movement, known as the Galveston Movement, was a response to rising antisemitism and overpopulation in the northeastern United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Discover how Galveston, with its thriving port and small urban center, was selected as the gateway for over 10,000 Jewish immigrants and how they were helped by the Jewish Immigrants Information Bureau and Rabbi Henry Cohen of Temple Benay Israel to assimilate to American life. Join Galveston Unscripted to learn more about the impact of the Galveston Movement on Texas and the United States.
