Ellis Island: A Suitcase Full of Dreams

Ellis Island: A Suitcase Full of Dreams

November: USA


Between 1892 and 1954, Ellis Island in New York Harbour was the main immigration station for millions of people arriving in the United States.

Many came from European countries, hoping to escape poverty or war and build a better future.

For many families, Ellis Island was the first place they saw in America, and the Statue of Liberty nearby became a powerful symbol of hope and freedom.

People often arrived with only a small suitcase containing clothes, photographs and personal belongings.

Today, Ellis Island is a museum where visitors can discover real stories of immigration and learn how newcomers helped shape American society.

The word of the day:  belongings /bɪˈlɒŋɪŋz/

Meaning: things that someone owns

Example: Many immigrants carried all their belongings in just one small suitcase.
