From 1892-1954, Ellis Island was the port of entry for millions of European immigrants. Fascinating archival footage tells the moving story of families with dreams of opportunity, leaving their homes with what they could carry.
Rebroadcast on the Internet made possible by Joseph McFadden of Philadelphia.
I am French, I study the subject of Ellis Island in class. This so interesting and moving. I'm glad to study this and learn even more about America.

Thanks for putting this up. This is the official movie shown on Ellis Island. I was just there a week ago. It was very moving especially since I am first generation american from european parents. A wonderful touch of history.

I went to New York a few years back. Of all the landmarks I visted there, it was Ellis Island that had and still has a hold on me to this day! To hear their recorded stories to see their pictures and read their words and being in awe of what brave people they had to be to come here with nothing but a dream. You can't express the experience you feel visiting there. If your ever in NY make it a point to visit Ellis Island and expereince
the magic yourself. You will come out changed forever!
