On June 7, 1907, a ship packed with Russian Jews set sail for a promised land: not Jerusalem or New York, as many on board had dreamed, but Texas. This was the beginning of the Galveston Plan, a forgotten episode of US history during which ten thousand Jews fled the persecution and brutality of the Russian Empire for the Gulf Coast. Journalist and historian Rachel Cockerell writes of this in her new book, Melting Point: Family, Memory, and the Search for a Promised Land.
