I recognized Max and Lottie because, a few days earlier, we had visited Ellis Island, where I took a snapshot of the following:

| Taken at Ellis Island's American Flag of Faces™ |
From the Ellis Island website:
The American Flag of Faces™ located in the museum’s main entrance hall is an animated red, white and blue flag filled with a montage of images submitted by individuals of their families, their ancestors, or even themselves. Visitors can search by name to call up a photo, which will then dynamically appear in the center of the Flag.
When I searched for "Goldstein" Max and Lottie appeared. When I clicked on either name, this photograph appeared, then shrank in size and became a part of the montage.
Going to the website link and clicking on Intro to Flag of Faces brings you to a page where you can do the same search for a surname of an immigrant ancestor, or make a donation to submit your own photograph.
It would be fun to connect with the cousin who submitted this photograph and see if he / she has any other photographs!
Thanks for pointing out this great memorial. I've been on the website so many times and never noticed it. I think it's a wonderful idea of how to raise money for Ellis Island and commemorate our ancestors!
ReplyDeleteEllis Island and the Statue of Liberty is a visit that everyone should make at some point. In researching for this blog post, I found out more about the website than I originally knew. Glad you liked it.
