Re: Skorka...
Random Googling:
Skórka is the name of two villages in Poland: 1, 2.
This article mentions a Rabbi by the name of Skorka. Israeli settler by the name here. Board Member of the Sandler Center for Jewish Life Enhancement by the name mentioned here.
Škorka, seemingly a Czech name.
Couldn't it be the case that some Jews took the name of Skórka from the village?

An obscure valley would be for me the sole habitable earth."
