economically, politically and socially, America was a model of democracy, success and freedom. During the Holocaust in the U.S more than half of all immigrants in the United States were Jewish, most of them refugees from Europe. In 1941, 45% of all immigrants to the United States were Jewish and in the U.S. the rescue of Jews and others, targeted by Nazi Germany was not a priority for the U.S. during World War II, therefore U.S. State Department policies made it very difficult for refugees to obtain
The obnoxious boat horn sounds but everyone was happy to hear it. In the distance they see the Statue of Liberty, a sight that they all longed to see.
