My grandfather walked >from Z'vil near Zhitomir, Ukraine to Warsaw, after the 1919
pogrom killed his whole family. He had to stay in Warsaw for one year because had a hernia that needed to be repaired before he could pass the US entry physical. He must have travelled by train >from Warsaw to Germany or Belgium to complete the trip
to Lowell, MA where cousins lived.
