Once in America, they were transported to the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter in Oswego, New York. At the fort, the refugees led somewhat peaceful lives but were unable to travel beyond its boundaries. They remained in the shelter for about a year and a half until President Harry S. Truman allowed them formal entry into the United States. The film continues to cover the release of 923 Jewish refugees from the Emergency Shelter at Fort Ontario in Oswego, NY and the work of the National Refugee Service in resettling them. Seven-year-old Georgie Neufeld sings the popular song "Gonna Love My Daddy Like He's Never Been Loved Before." [George Newfield now lives in Long Island.] Note: The family as named in the story is fictitious. No one by that name lived at Fort Ontario. The "Greenstein" family depicted is actually the Arnstein family, originally of Yugoslavia.
