Everything about Operation Texas totally explained
Operation Texas was an
undercover operation to relocate
European
Jews to
Texas, USA, away from
Nazi persecution.
In
1938 Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ), then a
Congressman and later the 36th
President of the United States of America, worked covertly to establish a
refuge in Texas for European Jews fleeing Nazi occupied
Germany. Johnson helped hundreds of European Jews enter Texas through
Cuba,
Mexico and
South America.
In part, Johnson was influenced in his attitude towards the Jews by the religious beliefs that his
family, especially his
grandfather (
Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr.), who was a member of the
Christadelphian church, shared with him. Christadelphians believe that the Jews are God's
chosen people, and LBJ's grandfather once said to him '"Take care of the Jews, God’s chosen people. Consider them your friends and help them any way you can."'
In reference to
Operation Texas, Texas historian James M. Smallwood commented that LBJ 'apparently took seriously his grandfather's charge'.
