Ellis Island is a tiny island in New York Harbor. There is a three-story building and many of
the immigrants that arrived from Europe go through this building in 1892. Many immigrants pass through Ellis
Island about one day. About Every hour
ships loads of immigrants hurry through the Island. There were about 12 million immigrants passed
through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954.
The Island is
usually crowded by immigrants from all over the world; every language on the
earth would go there. When they get
there they would have to see a doctor to see if they pass the inspection. About one out of five people would be marked
with letters telling what kind of problems they would have as in heart
problems, hernias, scalp problems and mental disability. New people that fail the inspection might get
separated from their families even get sent back were they came from.
