In the early 1900s, over 10,000 Jewish immigrants fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe arrived in the U.S. through Galveston, Texas—not Ellis Island. This episode explores the remarkable Galveston Movement, the humanitarian vision behind it, and how one small port city helped shape lives across the American heartland.
