Oh, this is lovely and sad. I'm always in awe of how you can convey so much emotion with only a few words.
I have some extra feelings about this because my great-grandparents emigrated from Poland too - I can't remember what year, but since my grandfather was born in the U.S. I think it would have been earlier than 1930. It's the same kind of thing, where I don't know a lot about what life was like for them there - my grandpa doesn't talk about his early life much either, and I never got to meet my great-grandparents. So I don't know much about their reasons for leaving, but sometimes I think about them and wonder.
