See photos of the island’s limited access south side, the unrestored Ellis Island Immigrant General Hospital Complex and Contagious Disease Hospital, in addition to interesting pictures of the Ellis Island Museum. Hear the stories of the patients, nurses, and doctors who worked at the hospital and what they had to cope with. Lecture will also include actual immigrant pictures and stories of both sadness and joy. The lecture concludes with a short history and slides of the Statue of Liberty, both past and present.
