ill, impoverished and homesick. Most had journeyed across the ocean confined for 12 days or more in the windowless steerage quarters below deck, sleeping on triple-tiered iron bunks with straw mattresses and no pillows. There was no privacy, no space; sanitary conditions were poor. They had to scrape together the $30 to $50 passage. Their ships made their way through the Narrows, the waters between Brooklyn and Staten Island, then turned north past the statue, just a few hundred yards from Ellis Island.

There they were examined, processed and sometimes detained in crude, crowded quarters. The island could be a grim place. The statue, with her upheld torch, was uplifting, goddesslike. Barbara Barondess, 79, of Manhattan remembers how as a Russian child of 14, she was held with her family on Ellis Island in 1921 for several days. It was like a jail with people of many languages huddled together in fear, she said.

Her sister, she recalled, was sick with a "terrible Many of the immigrants from that period have told their stories to historians on tape. Some were interviewed for this article. NEW YORK (AP) To the immigrants who battled tough times and rough seas, the Statue of Liberty was a welcoming beacon, a mystical madonna who made the homeless newcomers weep, pray and dance for joy. Swathed in a morning's mist, the mesmerizing lady of the harbor appeared off to Lie left of their ships, hailing their entry to the new world. For many, it was the first time they dared to hope.

"The people were screaming and some of them were crying and some of them were dancing. It was all kind of a joyous feeling of coming to the land of freedom and a land of love," recalled Clara Larsen of New York City who came from Russia in 1911 at age 13. Seymour Rexsite of Manhattan, who was 8 when he came from Poland in the early 1920s, remembers his boat pulled into New York Harbor in a driving rainstorm. "Everybody was on deck, no matter, they didn't mind the rain at all," he said. "Just to cheer that they came, they came to America." Their experiences were repeated by many immigrants, who historians say went through a kind of rebirth as they shed their old lives in a new land.

Many went through enormous hardships to get here as they fled religious persecution, oppression or poverty, seeking new opportunities and a better way of life. The statue played an important role in that process, especially in the peak immigration periods early in this century. "There are accounts from that period of time, from the 1920s and earlier, by Immigrants who actually talk about seeing this tremendous lady off in the mist," said Virginia Yans-McLaughlin, a Rutgers University professor of history who specializes in immigration matters. "If you make that long journey to a new land to make your life again, it's a tremendous image. It's whimsical.

It has a kind of fantasy element to it." The immigrants often arrived Don't Move IMPROVE! Kitchens, Baths Room Additions. Frc Estimates We arrange Financing.
