Five Stories
During my visit to New York, I had the opportunity to visit the museum Ellis Island Immigration , situated close to the well-known Statue of Liberty.
At the entrance, you find a row of suitcases, trunks, baskets and lots of equipment that one day belonged to the Europeans who migrated to the call in the early years of the nineteenth century "land of opportunity "United States of America.
I chose this picture and this title because after seeing the museum I understand a little better the hardships of immigration, which made me reflect on the stories kept inside each of these trunks, who had been his own , which had been the grounds that they had always taken the difficult decision to leave their country, leaving behind family and friends and embark into an uncertain future in search of better opportunities for thousands of miles from home.
Unfortunately, this image keeps repeating every day because of war, religious fanaticism, famine or poverty, and thousands of people have to pack their bags and leave keeping in them the story of his life.
