Abstract: This talk explores the Galveston Movement, a plan initiated in 1907 to redirect Jewish migration from Russia away from New York and the Northeast through the port of Galveston, Texas in an attempt to settle Jews in the Great Plains of the United States. The story sheds important light on issues related to Zionism, migration, and race in the United States and around the Jewish world.

Jeff Veidlinger: He is a Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies and Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute at the University of Michigan.

Cooperation: Denkraum Ukraine, Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America in the Modern World
