No crowds gathered. In fact, the newspapers of the day did not mention the event. Lazarus her- self died without knowing that her words would be a permanent declaration on the statue that was so dear to her heart. So perhaps it is not so odd that we fail to attach the name Emma Lazarus to the Statue of Liberty. Jews From Arab Lands Have Legitimate Claim BY JUDY SIEGEL AND CHARLEY J.
