The one who made it to Slovakia was driving and the other crossed into Poland by train. She said the ONLY reason she was permitted to board the train in Lviv is because she is female. She saw lots of men being turned away...simply because they are men. The one who was on a train was very fortunate to get a seat. She sent a pic of the mass of humans jammed into the train...and that included many women standing in the isle...for a ride that was 12 + hours long.
