Focus on the Story and Lost Origins Gallery are excited to announce The Echoes of Ellis Island: A Gateway of Hopes and Tears. This exhibition is a collection of work created for the National Park Service by National Park Service photographer Jarob Ortiz.

Ortiz made the photographs between 2016 and 2018 as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey. These frames put the viewers in the shoes of the millions of immigrants who passed through the U.S. immigration port at Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954.
