A beautiful nation founded by immigrants following their dreams ... thousands of stories to tell
Interesting Monument
Wonderful sculptural group that shows a Jewish family who emigrated to NYC. The father grateful to be able to fulfill his promise kneels and thanks while the rest of the family looks to heaven happily. A very touching image especially if it is seen after visiting Ellis Island. Which I recommend and if the language is not mastered request the phones that are free.
Monument to the emigrants! In general, it is a monument to those who made America the very America that it is now. Only free people can build such a country. Keep it up! Well done!
Beautiful statue that represents the immigrants who arrived in the country.
Beautiful sculpture

2018-12-12A large bronze statue with seven figures in various forms of relief and thankfulness after their arduous journey to America. The sculpture is located in Battery Park near Castle Clinton, which was a processing location for millions of arriving immigrants from mid 1800s to the late 1800s.

I found it to be very interesting and beautiful.

2019-03-10The sculpture depicts figures of various ethnic groups and eras, including an Eastern European Jew, a freed African slave, a priest, and a worker. The figures’ expressive poses emphasize the struggle and toil inherent in the experience of the immigrant or dislocated person.The sculpture is located at the south end of the Eisenhower Mall in Battery Park near Castle Clinton, which served as a processing facility for newly arrived immigrants from 1855 to 1890, when construction began on a larger, more remote facility at nearby Ellis Island. The piece was donated by Samuel Rudin (1896–1975), who commissioned the sculpture in the early 1970s, intending it to be installed near Castle Clinton as a memorial to his parents, who, as it is noted on the plinth, emigrated to the United States in the late-19th century. Although Rudin died in 1975, Rudin’s family took up the campaign to install the sculpture at the park, and it eventually was dedicated on May 4, 1983.
