On 25 June 2026 we will welcome Jeff Veidlinger to our Regensburg Research Colloquium. He will give a lecture on "American Zion: The Global Plan to Settle Jews in the American West". The lecture will be held in English.
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.
