Isaac Berlin was a poor Jewish man born in Russia. He had 5 brothers.
Isaac Berlin's travel was very long and hard.
At first, he took a train.
Then, he sailed from Hamburg to Liverpool.
Finally, he left Liverpool to go to New York.
In the boat, (the) (living) conditions were horrible. There was no hygiene, no separate toilets and no shower. They lacked water and food.
When there arrived in New York, they were excited because they could see the Statue of Liberty and it was the start of a new life.
Before that however, they went to Ellis Island which was the immigration station. First, they underwent a medical examination. After that, the officials checked their papers. Then, they asked the immigrants some questions. When that was done, they could go to New York.
Life was not easy when they arrived in New York. They had no house and no place to sleep ... but their biggest difficulty was that they could not speak English.
(commentaire: beaucoup trop de d'abord, ensuite, enfin).
