Dreams In the Golden Country. The Diary of Zipporah Feldman, a Jewish Immigrant Girl-New York City 1903. "Sept.1, 1903, Ellis Island, NY. I am sitting here on the wood suitcase, the one with the metal straps. Mama says I am too heavy to rest on the wicker one. It seems as if we have been in this baggage room forever, although it has only been two hours since we got off the boat. My oldest sister Tovah says to get used to it. It takes a long time to get processed. I am not sure what this word means.

It also has to do with the waiting.
