Under One Roof 

Our brand new exhibit features the stories of the immigrants and migrants who started their lives anew at 103 Orchard Street in the decades after World War II and helped to make the Lower East Side one of New York’s most diverse neighborhoods. Hear the stories of former resident Bella Epstein, whose parents survived the Holocaust; Jose and Andy Velez, whose seamstress mother left Puerto Rico for new opportunities; OR the Wong siblings, whose mother supported the family by sewing in the Chinatown garment shops.
3rd Floor of 103 – Accessible via elevator – Recommended Ages 8 and up.
