Thank you for bringing the immigrant stories into life and keeping their inspirational stories, their history and their contributions to our beloved USA.

Im coming to NY in November from England. Im definitely coming to see this

[Concetta]

It’s neat that it’s a house museum, not of a manor or chic townhouse, but a tenement.

I visited in November 2023. Fantastic experience and would totally recommend!

Next time I'm going to NY, I'll definitely look into this . Fascinating stuff !!

[klimber]

I'm not usually interested in many museums outside of my own area... But I'd love to see this one. To stand in a home where people worked lived and raised their families... What a wonderful way to learn of this countries history.

I absolutely praise this idea of a museum!

[okie-kan]

I love these type of museums. That is so awesome. All of the school children should have to go there once.

[Kalichar]

Great video. I want to visit this museum! Thank you for capturing this important part of US history.

It’s cool that they have actors and actresses portraying former residents.

Wait, she’s from New Jersey, and now lives on Long Island, yet she’s a “lifelong New Yorker”? A lifelong “New Yorker” is someone who was born in the city and grew up in the city, and still lives in the city (one of the five boroughs).

The courageous people that came here to seek a better life really is what America is about. When I saw the book called " I learn to Write" ..I got emotional. It really tugged at my heart....their hard work and struggles.

how is this in anyway different from modern apartments in ny. Like this looks nicer than a lot of crap apartments? What’s the bad part

Kathryn Lloyd is wearing a lovely blouse made from traditional handwoven fabric from Guatemala!

There is more discussion of the museum tour program than of the actual apartments.

[foxmulder]

Going up those stairs i just could imagine if it wasn't kept it would actually look like a NYCHA unit😂

[laraparks]

We'll have Hoovervilles and tenaments again, 2023

my ancestors were Ashkenazi Jews from Lithuania and Latvia. they came to New York in the late 1800's. I wonder if they lived in one of those buildings.

How in the world are they going to portray a tenement with plenty of shoulder room, and lots of food? Conditions in most tenements were abhorrent. Sickness was common.

Those proud immigrants sought to enter a land of opportunity through the proper channels, not illegally enter what's now perceived to be the land of a free ride. Big difference.
