Myra Katz: This statue was the first thing all four of my grandparents saw of their new world. I had the honor of the same view when my husband and I returned for a trip to Europ. I stood on the ship's deck and had the privilege of sharing the money with a couple who were emigrating here that day.
It was a moment I will never forget.
