Synopsis
Album Description
Through danger, hardship, and heartbreak, Armenians transported their spirit through Ellis Island and gave us life and music. Thanks to the mothers and fathers. Ellis Island: Freedom's Gateway Over 100 million Americans trace their ancestry through a passage of Ellis Island, New York. In the beginning of the 20th century, the island became synonymous with freedom for waves of immigrants fleeing Europe and Asia Minor because of oppression and war. Armenians escaped ethnic cleansing and genocide from Ottoman Turkey in 1915. The American immigrant Wall of Honor lists the names, cities, and villages of these brave souls. The music on this CD represents those times.
