Walking through the Immigration Museum on Ellis Island was very errie, you could feel the presence of the people that had traveled through there. The door and windows look out to New York city. One could only imagine what went through their minds waiting to be approved by a doctor and allowed to stay in their newfound freedom land. Most were only watched walking up the stairs and their health was decided on how well they could do that. If they tired too easily, the doctors would not allow them to stay and send them back to their country.
