Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- Come, Albina. We will buy milk and eggs somewhere else.
- You need to leave now. Jews are not allowed here.
- They would not sell to Jews, Father.
- Don't worry, dear Jadwiga. We are going to America. We'll be welcomed there, and we will find work. At 15 years old, there will be many opportunities for you to help, also.
- Look, Jadwiga, Albina! We're on our way to a happy life in America!
- We only have to share this space a little longer, girls.
- Welcome to Ellis Island. We will need to give you a medical examination and then you can be on your way. Names, please?
- Tarski. Schmuel, Jadwiga, and little Albina.
- We are the Polish National Alliance here in New York City. We will help you find a home and jobs. You will find natural born Americans a bit hostile. They seem to feel that their jobs and culture are threatened by immigrants.
- Our new home is in the building right there! We will live near other Polish families, and they will help us adjust to our new life here.
- I have to work hard at my new job as a seamstress, and I am quickly learning English. It is difficult, but life here will be better than it was in Poland!
