The descendants of these immigrants, now scattered throughout the United States, are hardly aware that their ancestors participated in a unique attempt to organize and channel Jewish immigration. From their recruitment in Eastern Europe to their settlement in the American West, these immigrants were supervised by a network of agents and representatives. The project, known as the ?Galveston Movement,? brought over ten thousand Jews to the United States between the years 1907 and 1914. 606 $aJews$zTexas$zGalveston 606 $aImmigrants$zTexas$zGalveston 606 $aJews$xMigrations 615 0$aJews 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aJews$xMigrations. 700 $aMarinbach$b Bernard$f1946-$01510712 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785644603321 996 $aGalveston$93743547 997 $aUNINA
