Why Ellis Island is important?
Ellis Island is important as people from round the world, their ancestors will have passed through there to get to America. That is what has made America so culturally diverse today. Millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. A fire on Ellis Island burnt down records of immigrants passing through, no copies were made of these so tracing ancestors can be a difficulty. (I visited the Ellis Island Museum but I still do not fully understand so don't take all my words! :P)

What immigrants did Ellis Island take?
Ellis Island primarily processed immigrants arriving from Europe between 1892 and 1954. The majority were from countries such as Italy, Ireland, Germany, and Poland, seeking better economic opportunities, escaping persecution, or fleeing war. Immigrants from other regions, including Eastern Europe and a smaller number from Asia and the Middle East, also passed through Ellis Island, though immigration laws later restricted many non-European groups. The island became a symbol of hope and new beginnings for millions seeking a fresh start in America.
Why should people visit Ellis Island?
On Ellis Island you can visit the Statue of Liberty and that place where the immigrants went! i have been and both are amazing! you get the boat out to ellis island and you pass the Statue of Liberty so if you just want to take a photo of it rather then climb it e.t.c then as you pass take a quick pic! Otherwise ellis island is definitely a place to go, it has activities for young children and lots of great information for older people. My favourite part was watching the video of what it was like for the immigrants. It was sad but VERY interesting! i highly recommend it! Hope that helps! Rx
