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
