Lucie Eisenstab and Paul Peter Porges met in 1945 in Geneva. Both had fled to France from Vienna in 1938, Lucie with her parents, and Paul Peter through evacuation to the children's camp at La Guette. From there he managed to reach Switzerland on his own. After the War, Lucie, who had studied fashion design, went to Paris where she immersed herself in the world of haute couture, while PPP, as Paul Peter Porges called himself, followed his parents to New York. After touring the country with a circus for several months, he was drafted into the US Army, where he published his first drawings and cartoons in military magazines.

On his return to New York his career took off : the Saturday Evening Post published his cartoons, and he also worked extensively for the cult comic Mad Magazine and the more serious magazine The New Yorker. His cartoons showed New York and the madness of daily life there. Lucie Porges, who arrived in New York in 1951 and married Paul Peter there, was artist in residence at Pauline Trigère's fashion house. She worked as a designer and, together with Pauline Trigère, helped define the company's fashions from the 1960s until the 1990s: a Viennese designing French fashions in New York.

Lucie and PPP have been married for 49 years. They have two daughters, several grandchildren and an apartment on 72nd Street in New York's Upper West Side. "Lucie & Paul Peter Porges - Style and Humor" can be seen from 31 May until 17 September 2000 at the Jewish Museum Vienna (A-1010 Vienna, Dorotheergasse 11).

Details on the Museum can be found on the Internet at www.jmw.at.

Style and Humor An exhibition about Lucie and Paul Peter Porges Hebrew Union College - Museum - Brookdale Center, One West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012 September 13, 2001 - June 28, 2002 In 1938, two 12-year-old Jewish children's lives were changed forever : Lucie Eisenstab fled with her parents and sister from Vienna through Belgium and France ; Paul Peter Porges was evacuated from Vienna with other children to the La Guette refugee camp in France, and made his own way across France. Both reached safety in Switzerland, where they first met at the Academy of Art in Geneva in 1945, and later settled in New York, where they married in 1951. They embarked on extraordinary careers : Lucie as the artist-in-residence and principal fashion designer at Pauline Trigere for four decades; PPP as the popular cartoonist whose work appeared regularly in The New Yorker, Mad Magazine, and The Saturday Evening Post. From the high style of fashion to the irreverent humor of cartooning, their lives and careers affirm the essence of Jewish creativity and vitality. Their unique accomplishments challenge us to ponder the infinite potential of the 1.5 million Jewish children of the Porges's generation who did not survive the Holocaust.   Kurt Porges Geboren 1920 in Wien / 1939 Flucht in die USA sein Dienst in der US-Army ermöglichte ihm 1945 seine Familie in die USA zu holen arbeitete für eine New Yorker Tageszeitung

(B 34 9 71) The Theresienstadt list mentions the following : Porges, Alice (b. 15.12.1870) Transport to Terezin Au-405, died   Erzeugt in Österreichs Bewährt in aller Welt! Die M-P-Beiwagen werden seit dem Jahre 1920 in dem größten Beiwagenwerk Osterreichs, den M-P-Beiwagen-Werken erzeugt. Sämtliche Arbeitsgänge werden in u n s e r e n Spezial-Werkstätten von jahrelang erprobten Spezialarbeitern ausgeführt. Da die ganze Erzeugung unter genauer fachmännischer Aufsicht steht und nur die besten Materialien verwendet werden, ist die Gewähr dafür vorhanden, daß jeder M-P-Beiwagen das Vollkommenste ist, was auf diesem Gebiet geschaffen werden kann. Unser Augenmerk ist stets darauf gerichtet, Fahrzeuge einfacher, aber unübertrefflicher Konstruktion zu schaffen, deren Wartung auf ein Minimum beschränkt ist. Die beweglichen Teile sind in Gummi gelagert, daher ist ein Ausschlagen unmöglich und keine Schmierung erforderlich. Bei allen Typen werden die geräuschlosen Gummigleiter (patentiert) verwendet. Sämtliche Typen sind mit idealen Langfedern und Steckachsen versehen und gewähren ein sehr angenehmes Fahren. Die Räder laufen bei allen Typen in stahlgepreßten Naben (patentiert) auf reichlich dimensionierten F und 5-Kugellagern, starken Steckachsen, die ein bequemes Auf- und Abmontieren des Rades mit einem Handgriff ermöglichen und jede Sicherheit gewähren. Die Räder werden gleich denen an der Maschine geliefert. Jeder Beiwagen kann mit einer reichlich dimensionierten lnnnenhackenbremse versehen werden. Alle Beiwagen werden mit vier universell ausgebildeten stahlgepreßten Bindungen angeschlossen. Die Karosserien sind aus Ganzmetall und in den Formen, Farben und Polsterungen so mannigfaltig, daß jedem Geschmack sowie Spezialwünschen entsprochen werden kann. Bei jeder Karosserie ist ein geräumiger, versperrbarer Gepäcksraum, eine wasserdichte Regendecke und eine Fußmatte. Jede Karosserie kann mit einem runden oder einem Allwetterwindschutz versehen werden. Als Vervollkommnung wurde das patentierte M-P-Schwingachs-Aggregat geschaffen. Die MP-Beiwagen werden überall dort, wo es auf solide und dauerhafte Konstruktion ankommt (zum Beispiel auch beim Militär und der Polizei vieler Länder) verwendet und haben die Führung unter allen Beiwagen der Welt errungen. Herr Ing. Porges, der Gründer und Chef der Fabrik, hat durch Auswertung seiner reichen Erfahrungen in der Beiwagenerzeugung bahnbrechend gewirkt und dadurch auch zur Wertschätzung österreichischer Fabrikate im Ausland in reichem Maße beigetragen.
