Dear Lisa,
Welcome to the List! Although apparently Rabbi Solomon Horowitz is not explicitly mentioned, the "Book of the Month, January 2016: The Making of Soviet Chernivtsi - National 'Reunification,' World War II, and the Fate of Jewish Czernowitz in Postwar Ukraine"
http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.de/2016/01/the-making-of-soviet-chernivtsi.html
might be helpful to you when it comes to "information about Czernowitz right after the end of the war."
Please, dear Lisa, keep us informed on the outcome of your research and we are looking very much forward to hearing from you again.
Edgar Hauster

Dear everyone,
my name is Lisa Schank and I am a student of history from the University of=
Jena in Germany. The last three weeks I spent in Czernowitz on a Sommer Sc=
hool organized by the German organization DAAD (Academic Exchange Service).
One of the reasons I wanted to visit Czernowitz is my interest in Jewish Hi=
story. During my studies, I've worked with the interviews of David O. Boder=
with survivors of the Holocaust. (
http://voices.iit.edu/david_boder).
One of the persons interviewed by Boder was Rabbi Solomon Horowitz. He orig=
inally is from Zolotyi Potik. In the interview he tells that he was interne=
d in Buchach Ghetto before he was able to flee with a group of people and h=
ide in the surrounding woods. After the Soviet Army had conquered Buczacz, =
he and a group of 49 people supposedly went with the troops to Czernowitz, =
fearing that the Germans would come back to Buchach. So he probably arrived=
in Czernowitz in late March/early April 1944.
According to his testimony he spent one year in Czernowitz, serving as a ra=
bbi, before he emigrated first to Polen and France, and afterwards probably=
to Israel.
I'm very interested in trying to research his story. I've already been to t=
he local archive in Czernowitz but unfortunately have not found any account=
of his stay in Czernowitz. Christian Hermann told me about this list, so I=
would kindly like to ask, if anyone of you has ever heard of Rabbi Horowit=
z. Or if not, if someone could give me a hint about where to look for infor=
mation about Czernowitz right after the end of the war.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Lisa Schank
