Re: [Cz-L] Franz Porubsky

I don't mean to make light of what was obviously a great tragedy in 1934,
but whoever in Google attempted the translation of the suicide story
mangled it. In addition to the fact that I've never seen a newspaper report of
someone's death with such gruesome details, I don't understand the
following phrase: "the neighbors who gathered in
a short time brought the physicians Dr. Stern and Dr. Hamburger lovers".
......
    Does that mean Dr. Stern and Dr. Hamburger loved hamburgers, or did it
mean
Dr. Stern and Dr. Hamburger were lovers.
    Someone, please help me understand.

Mimi,

Porubsky was "well known" and very popular only in Czernowitz , I guess.

By a very strange (sinistre?) coincidence I have just discovered in the
"today's" edition of Der Tag ( August 23,1934) about F. Porubsky's suicide.

Here you can read the transliterated text ( thanks to the contemporary
Editors!) and part of the English Google translation:

Franz Porubsky begeht Selbstmord.
