[Cz-L] Solca/Solka Sanatorium Destroyed by Fire

Czernowitzers...

After WW2, my grandparents Elias and Marjem Hauster, lived - rather survived - as repatriates in Radautz. They dreamed of escaping from their doom of being "sucked into an intellectual bog" ["geistiger Versumpfungstod"] and therfore they looked in March 1948 for a "single room in Solca/Solka as a permanent residence, but solely on the ground floor and with a yard". Nothing but dreams, one year later, in May 1949, Elias deceased. In June 2008 I visited Solca/Solka

and of course the famous Solka Sanatorium, built by Dr. Hermann Poras in 1876, as well. Our fellow member Dr. Joseph Poras reported to all of us on this noted and historic place:

In February 1993 "Die Stimme" published an article on Dr. Hermann Poras by Dr. Ferdinand Eisenhauer:

Now, Ioana Rostos - Thank you, dear Ioana! - brought to us very sad news: The famous Solka Sanatorium was destroyed by fire! You'll find a video clip and a link to the "Monitorul" report in Romanian language at our ehpes.com Blog:

More and more, vestiges of the (Jewish) past are disappearing. What a pity!
