Sub-clan B – matriarchal anchor: Amalia Porges née Bondy (b. ca. 1837, d. Prague 6 August 1912 at 9:30 a.m., in her 76th year of life, in the 50th year of her marriage).

This is one of the most precisely-dated obituaries of the corpus — the matriarch had been married for exactly half a century when she died. The 50-year marriage anchors Amalia's wedding to ca. 1862.

Buried at the Israelite Cemetery, Strašnice, on Thursday 8 August 1912 at 2:30 p.m. (Day-of-week check: 6 Aug 1912 = Tuesday ✓; 8 Aug 1912 = Thursday ✓.)

Husband: Sigmund Porges (alive 1912, signs the obituary as widower). The Bondy maiden name and 1862 wedding date make this a documentary anchor for the Bondy-Porges alliance throughout the late 19th-century Bohemian Jewish bourgeoisie.

Children:

• Emil Porges – married Hedwig Porges (daughter-in-law, maiden name not given). Sons (alive 1912 as named grandchildren): Oswald, Hans, Egon Porges.

• Auguste Fürth née Porges – married Arthur Fürth. Children (named as grandchildren of Amalia in 1912): Walter, Richard, Alice, Willy Fürth.

Total grandchildren in 1912: seven (3 Porges + 4 Fürth).

Cross-corpus integration

The Bondy-Porges alliance is documented elsewhere in the obituary corpus by Sara Porges née Bondy (†21 December 1905, age 74, b. ca. 1832 — see Other Prague Porges branches). Sara's brothers Koppelmann and Veit E. Bondy may be relatives of Amalia's Bondy parents — the Bondy family produced two Porges-marrying women in the mid-19th century, suggesting either sibship or close cousinship.

If Amalia (b. 1837) and Sara (b. ca. 1832) were sisters, they married Porges men within five years of each other (ca. 1857-1862). The most economical reconstruction postulates Amalia and Sara as sisters in a Bondy sibship, with the Sigmund Porges of Amalia's family and the unidentified Mr. Porges of Sara's family being either brothers or close cousins of the Karolinenthal Porges line.

⚠️ Reservation: the sister hypothesis is structural; documentary confirmation requires locating the obituary of either the Bondy parents or a sibling of either Amalia or Sara naming the other as relative.

Holocaust trajectory

Sigmund Porges (alive 1912) was likely deceased by 1938 of natural causes. The 7 grandchildren (Oswald, Hans, Egon Porges; Walter, Richard, Alice, Willy Fürth, all b. ca. 1885-1900) would have been ca. 38-53 in 1938 — at peak deportation risk.

Vienna deportation list candidates needing verification:

• Hans Porges b. 20/07/1907 Vienna – from Drancy/France to Auschwitz 7/9/1942 — possibly Amalia's grandson Hans (would need to be born after the 1912 obituary)
• Egon, Oswald, Walter Porges – cross-check holocaust.cz
