Czernowitzers...
As a memento dedicated to the legendary Dr. Poras Sanatorium in Solca, "captured" as one more trophy during my recent ride to Bukovina, please find as Book of the Month, September 2016, the "Report from the Sanatorium Dr. Poras" in German language for the years 1892-1902:

In April 2014 the Dr. Poras Sanatorium in Solca was destroyed by fire. Our fellow member Dr. Joseph Poras, the great grandson of Dr. Hermann Poras b. Czernowitz 1835" wrote at that time:
"Thank you to those who wrote me expressing their sadness at the loss of the historical sanatorium in Solca. During its day, at the turn of the century, Dr. Poras Sanatorium was the magnet for upper class Jews to spend the summer months healing and schmoosing. Jews from all over the Hapsburg empire came to enjoy the healing powers of the water and air in this beautiful area of now Romania. Many a shidduch was made as family members paraded their teenagers on the long afternoon walks through the woods. The evenings were filled with food music, poetry and song when the guests relaxed after a day of spa treatments. As Edgar so aptly put it 'More and more, vestiges of the (Jewish) past are disappearing. What a pity!'"
