Axelrod The role men and women play in history can be viewed from two perspec­ tives. Either men determine history by their actions or history determines the actions of men. At times a combination of the two may take place. The relationship of Rabbi Henry Cohen 0863-1952) of Galveston and the Galves­ ton Immigration Movement, often called the Galveston Plan, was a case of combining these two historical perspectives. The necessity of a nation and a religious group to change its immigration patterns coupled with the extra­ ordinary humanitarian efforts of a great man created the product of an innova­ tive, well-planned program. This paper will examine the workings of the Galveston Plan and the role Henry Cohen played in making that plan a partial success.
