ELLIS Vanoni

A Woman, who is a Nazi concentration camp survivor, arrives on Ellis Island pregnant and gives birth. While on the island she unexpectedly finds her father, who is also a survivor, and in terrible physical condition. After a period of shock and panic, she decides to give her baby daughter for adoption. 

This character sings words from a letter she wrote to her future daughter. In the electronic sound design, we hear the voice of this woman’s real-life daughter telling the story of how she came to know her mother through this letter.
