| | Ellis Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Statue of Liberty, sometimes thought to be on Ellis Island because of its symbolism as a welcome to immigrants, is actually on nearby Liberty Island. | | | Thereafter, however, the federal government expanded the island by landfill, so that it could accommodate the immigration station that opened in 1892. | | | The IMAX 3D movie, Across the Sea of Time, about the New York immigrant experience, incorporates both modern footage and historical photographs of Ellis Island. |

| | Ellis Island |
| | Ellis Island was used as a detention center to hold alien enemies who were awaiting hearings; it also served as a way station for those being transferred to and from other internment camps and for those awaiting deportation, repatriation, or expatriation. | | | In August 1945 I had another hearing at Ellis Island, but I realized that they [the government officials] really were not interested in what I had to say but that they wanted to get rid of me and ship me back to Germany. | | | I told the Ellis Island official that I had had my hearing, he said, "We know, but this time, see to it that your husband is there also." |
