ELLIS ISLAND : Script of the dialogue.-Why did you bring me here, grandpa? Where are we? -We're on Ellis Island. This is where many immigrants arrived when they wanted to live in

America. My father, your great-grandfather, came here in 1904.-I want to tell you his story. Look at the Statue of Liberty over there, Mary. It was the first thing your ancestor saw when

he arrived in New York Harbour. -Where did your father come from? -He came from Ireland. He was very poor and he thought that he would have a better life in

America. This is the American Dream. -Come on, let go inside. -The immigrants arrived here in the Great Hall and they were examined by doctors upstairs. -What happened after that?-They had to answer 29 questions in 2 minutes. A lot of immigrants didn't understand

anything. They were all frightened, very tired and worried.-Look at that big wall over there! Let's go and have a look at it!-This is the Wall of Honour. All the names that are written on it are immigrants' names. Look

for your ancestor's name. -Oh! Here it is!8

Match each paragraph with the right photoa) New arrivals were taken by ferry to the main building at Ellis Island. Opened in 1892, the first

immigrant to arrive was a 15-year-old girl from Ireland named Annie Moore to join her parents in

New York City.b) Immigrants entered the main building through its ground floor baggage room. They left their

trunks, suitcases and baskets here until they were finished. Immigrants with only a few belongings

carried their things as they climbed the stairs to the Great Hall for medical and legal examinations.c) The first test the immigrants had to pass became known as the "six second medical exam." As

the immigrants climbed the stairs to the Great Hall, doctors stood at the top and watched. They were looking for anyone having difficulty coming up the steps. If a medical problem or disability was suspected, one of seventeen different chalk marks was put on the person's clothing. They were then

sent for a full physical examination. If they weren't marked, they went on to wait in the Great Hall.d) By 1917, complete medical exams were required for every immigrant. The main purpose of these

exams was to find persons with contagious diseases or conditions that would make them unable to

work. If their problem was curable, immigrants were sent to the island's hospital. If it was not, the

steamship company that brought them would have to pay to send them back.e) The Great Hall was the large waiting room of Ellis Island. Immigrants waited here for their

interviews with legal inspectors after finishing their medical exams. At best, the entire process through Ellis Island took three to five hours. But sometimes problems came up, like family members

waiting for a relative to be treated in the hospital ward. Some families stayed for days on Ellis Island,

others for weeks, and still others for months.f) After passing the medical exams, immigrants had to prove they could legally come into America.

They had to prove their country of origin and where they expected to live and work once they entered the country. Inspectors rejected any immigrant with a criminal record or those suspected of being indentured servants. By 1921, immigrants had to pass a literacy test and show a passport and visa. g) In the money exchange area immigrants exchanged the money of their homeland for dollars, and purchased any train tickets they needed. Laws passed in 1909 required each immigrant to have at

least 20 dollars before they were allowed to enter America.h) Just beyond the money exchange was the exit from Ellis Island. Staff members referred to this

spot as the kissing post because of all the emotional reunions that were witnessed there. Two thirds of the new Americans then boarded a ferry to New Jersey, where the next leg of their American journey would begin. The remaining third took the ferryboat to Manhattan to begin their new life in

New York City, only one mile away18

Searching for the lost Jews of BohemiaAlex Woodle's great-grandfather, David, came to America from Bohemia in the mid-19th century. "He died when my father was 12. Alex knew that David Woodle died in Chicago so he began by requesting a death certificate from the Cook County Department of Vital Statistics. When the certificate came in the mail four or five weeks later, it identified David Woodle as a capmaker and gave the address he lived at, the native country and his burial place - New York. But where in New York? In which of the

hundreds of Jewish cemeteries could Alex find his great-grandfather's grave? He hoped to discover some clues at the

Municipal Archives in New York. Alex started with the New York City Directories, searching for Woodles. On a hunch, Alex looked for a death certificate for Morris in 1892 - Morris, who was a capmaker in the same generation as David Woodle. Maybe he's related to David and maybe the cemetery listed on his death certificate - Bayside Cemetery in Queens - is a link to David's final resting place. Alex's hunch proved correct. The cemetery confirmed that David was among a number of Woodles buried there. That weekend Alex and his brother visited the gravesite, which had been lost to the family for almost 100 years? "I just feel it's very important to know who our ancestors were. I had to make a connection to where this man lived and where he died." But Alex's search was not over. A vital question remained: where in Bohemia had David Woodle lived? At the New England Historic Genealogical Society, a set of books lists 19th century passengers from Germany and surrounding countries and the ships they came over on. After looking through 24 volumes and finding nothing, in volume 25 Alex came across a familiar name though with a different spelling - Wudl. Although Alex never found David in the index, he did find a Moses and a Simon Wudl, both from the village of Ckyne in Bohemia. "This could be the home village of the family." To prove his intuition that Moses and Simon were David's brothers, Alex took a trip to Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic. The State Archives in Prague houses the vast and detailed records kept during the period when Bohemia was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the index of births for Ckyne, Alex found the evidence he sought. A set of records for David Woodle confirmed that he was from Ckyne and that he had brothers named Simon, Moses and Ignatz. The records also revealed the names of David's parents, Jeremias Wudl and Maria Wudl, the daughter of Jacob Fantes. Of course, there are no Wudls or Fanteses left in Ckyne. The Jewish families in Ckyne were all deported to concentration camps under the Nazi occupation. At the Jewish cemetery stands a memorial to the Jews killed in the Holocaust, including two members of the Fantes family. "To go inside is very moving. It's the most emotional part of the trip I've made so far. It's very personal, not just for my family members, but for those people who lived in this quiet little village." Alex's grandparents,

David and Theresa

Woodle.
