Sub-clan L (Karolinenthal Porges family) – matriarchal anchor:
Amalia Porges née Elbogen (b. ca. 1823, d. Friday 24 November 1905
around 5 p.m., in her 83rd year of life).
Residence at death: Prag-Karolinenthal. Funeral Sunday 26 November 1905
at 3 p.m. from the Israelite Cemetery, Strašnice. (Day-of-week check:
24 November 1905 = Friday ✓; 26 November = Sunday ✓.) Carriages departed
from the "Spinka" at 2:30 p.m.
Husband: a Mr. Porges of Karolinenthal, predeceased before 1905.
The Karolinenthal Porges sibship is reconstructed from the obituary as follows:
Karolinenthal Porges sibship (parental generation, named in 1905 as
"brothers-and-sisters-in-law" of Amalia):
- Mr. Porges (Amalia's predeceased husband)
- Moses Porges (alive 1905)
- Sofie Schulhof née Porges (alive 1905; later subject of her own 1912
obituary, see Other Prague Porges branches)
- Anna Porges née Radisch (= Anna Kadisch, alive 1905, see
Philipp Porges 1856-1925 page;
"Radisch" in this 1905 notice is an O.C.R. variant of "Kadisch", confirmed by
day-of-week analysis of the 1907 Anna Kadisch death notice)
- Franziska Porges née Meißner (alive 1905)
Amalia's children:
• Advokat Dr. Josef Porges – married Gabriele Porges née Wantoch
(daughter-in-law, alive 1905). The same Dr. Josef Porges, Advokat is named
in the 1907 Anna Kadisch obituary's relatives list.
• Emilie Goldstein née Porges – married Hermann Goldstein
(son-in-law, alive 1905). Children: Emil, Oskar, Robert Goldstein and
Fritzi Porges (suggesting Fritzi may have been a daughter of Dr. Josef
Porges, since the surname is Porges not Goldstein).
Friederike Elbogen née Pokorny – also named as a brother/sister-in-law,
indicating Amalia had a Pokorny-married brother named Elbogen. The Bohemian-Czech
surname Pokorný (the humble) is one of the more common in-married surnames.
Holocaust trajectory
Sub-clan L members at high Holocaust risk (Karolinenthal residence +
Prague identification):
- Advokat Dr. Josef Porges – b. ca. 1853, the page
PhilippPorges1856-1925.html records him
as "Josef Porges (b.1853, d. Prague ca 1929) married Gabriele Wantoch (b. 1860,
d. Prague 1920)" — both deceased before Holocaust era, spared
- Emil, Oskar, Robert Goldstein – b. ca. 1885-1895, would have been
ca. 43-53 in 1938 — top Holocaust risk, search Goldstein name in
holocaust.cz / Yad Vashem
- Fritzi Porges – b. ca. 1888-1898, top Holocaust risk if she remained
in Prague
Sub-clan L is now the third-most documented Karolinenthal Porges sub-clan,
joining Sub-clan BD (Karlín Katharina Porges 1928), Sub-clan BM
(Marie Reich née Porges Karolinenthal 1915), and Sub-clan BY
(Resie Schalek 1915, see Schalek-Porges Adolf cohort).
