Answer:
The author uses as evidence the fact that many immigrants were fleeing poverty in their countries of origin, which presented few job opportunities, unlike the USA.
Explanation:
"Immigration and Ellis Island" shows how, despite the fact that many immigrants in the USA were looking for a way to exercise their religions without suffering persecution, most of them were fleeing poverty and saw in the USA a way to improve their economic conditions. This is because their countries of origin, most of them located in eastern and southern Europe, presented few job opportunities, leaving many of them in a situation of misery. However, the USA had high industrialization and employment opportunities.
Elie Wiesel is a survivor of the concentration camps in Germany. In his prologue in Night, he states he doesn’t consider himself a hero. He doesn’t think he’s a hero because he saved many lives. He did what he had to do, not for fame. A hero is someone who saves lives, even if it means endangering your own life.
