Melting Point by Rachel Cockerell
Melting Point reconstructs the Galveston Movement of the early 20th century, when thousands of Russian Jews were redirected to Texas to escape persecution. Using only letters, diaries, newspapers and interviews, Rachel Cockerell traces her great-grandfather David Jochelmann, Israel Zangwill and other migrants across continents and decades, exploring choices about identity, belonging and assimilation without revealing key plot details.
