"We are going to Krakow, where people aren't treated this way." Did anybody catch that Fyedka and Chava were going to be in Krakow's ghetto under the Nazis?

Yes, but, this was some 60 years before the Holocaust. Hopefully, their grandchildren left Krakow by then (for the US, perhaps).

More like 30-some years. They likely experience it, sadly.

Okay then, hopefully their kids escaped Krakow before the Nazis came.

Since Fiddler was fiction and written after WWII, I'm sure the line was both ironic and foretold that Tevya and his family's problems were not over with a simply relocation out of Ukraine.
