Between 1892 and the early 1950s, nearly 15 million people streamed through Ellis Island in search of a new life. Here are the stories of those extraordinary immigrants, largely in their own poignant words. Coming primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, and from widely diverse backgrounds, the migrs represented in this remarkable volume recount their adventures with dignity, wit, and unflagging honesty. Among the dozens of unforgettable narrators youll meet are a Greek boy who, forced into the Turkish Army, escaped to the U.S. with the help of the Russian Orthodox Church; a young Polish girl who made the harrowing journey only to have to flee a white slaver; and a Czech woman who fooled doctors into letting her travel despite being eight months pregnant.

While I appreciated the personal accounts in 'Island of Tears', I felt some stories were a bit too brief. It’s a solid read for anyone interested in immigration history, just wish it went deeper into some of the experiences.

Emotionally Powerful Read
This book is a treasure trove of emotional stories from those who journeyed to America. The way it brings the Ellis Island experience to life is moving. I gifted it to my grandmother, and she couldn't put it down!
