Publications to Ports of Entry: From Incunabula (an early printed book) to Immigration
Sunday, December 8 | 10:30am | the University of Denver Library
Hosted by Jewish Genealogy Society of Colorado
Speakers: David Fasman & Dr. Joshua Furman
Judaica Provenance: Historical Gold and Genealogical Treasures. Jews truly are, “The People of the Book.” From original incunabula and 16th century works, to prolific publishing in the Pale of Settlement, and the most extensive looting of books in the history of humankind—books have followed Jews everywhere, and to some extent, we have followed them. In this talk,
“The Other Ellis Island: Jewish Immigration Through Galveston, Texas.” Between 1907 and 1914, nearly 10,000 Eastern European Jews entered the United States through the port at Galveston, Texas rather than through Ellis Island.
