Jhitomir, Chernobyl, and Kiev. And if they didn't get out in the 10s and 20s, they didn't get out. Obv. (The fourth grandparent was cagey, or at least his folks were cagey with him. The closest we have for them is somewhere in Belarus.)
Thank you for telling me. It was great-grandparents with me and one of them actively withheld information: I know more about where he came from and how he got to America than came down in the family to my mother. The others at least we had stories to start from.
My kitchen table Yiddish never got me much more than that. Sadly.
