Re: [Cz-L] Franz Porubsky's Suicide

Hi Edgar, About the roumanian law for teacher...retirement.
My late father in law, Prof.Dr.Efraim Brenner was Studienrat and he asked
for retirement, because he was not perfect in roumanian language, so did
most of the teacher, but this examination was much earlier, not in 1934....I
knew a lot of teacher from L.3 so was called the Jewish Lyceum for boys"
prof.Herbst also, like Prof.Brenner, but others like Prof. Brueck,
transferred to Focsani, Prof.Hornstein to Dej, and many others who remained
for latin, german,...but these transfer or retirement was until 1928...I do
not understand the Porubsky case...but I was told rhan that he was not
o.k.with his nerfs, a bit meschugge...
Regards
Hedwig

Czernowitzers...

Thanks to Irene, we learned, that Franz Porubsky's suicide in August 1934
was much more than a personal tragedy, it had a political dimension. During
that period of time Romania headed for a vehement Romanization course and
all public employees, especially the teachers, were forced to take
examinations for Romanian language, history and geography. A failure,
followed by the dismissal, could destroy the basis of existence for the
entire family.
