Sub-clan W — matriarchal anchor: Eleonore Porges née Pick (d. Žižkov, dated 12 February 1936).

Funeral at the Israelite Cemetery at Strašnice. (Note: The faire-part dates the funeral "Friday 13 February" but 13 February 1936 was a Thursday — likely a typographic error in either the day-name or date-number; alternative year-readings of 1925, 1931, or 1942 would resolve the day-of-week mismatch but the most plausible reading remains 1936.)

Pick-Porges-Kohn alliance — third documented Pick-Porges marriage

Eleonore Porges née Pick is the third documented Pick woman marrying into a Porges family in the obituary corpus, joining the Pick-Porges and Pick-Kohn-Porges multi-marriage clusters. The Pick family clearly maintained multi-generation strategic marriages with the Porges family network across at least 30 years (1885-1937), paralleling other documented multi-marriage in-law alliances:

• Reitlinger-Porges triple sister-marriage (Sub-clan B + Auspitz)
• Pereles-Porges multi-generation cluster (Sub-clans D + N — see Amalie Pereles)
• Bondy-Porges multi-marriage (Sub-clans B + W2)
• Schalek-Porges double sister-marriage (see Schalek-Porges Adolf cohort)

Family

Husband: Heinrich Porges (alive 1936, signs as widower).

Children (alive 1936):

• Josef Porges + wife Otla Porges

• Jaro Winternitz + wife Hedva Winternitz — likely Eleonore's daughter married a Winternitz (cross-link to the Winternitz family network)

• Herma Porges

• Oskar Porges

Grandchildren: Otto, Eva, Lotta, Hanna.

Sister-in-law: Fanny Porges (alive 1936).

Žižkov context

Žižkov (today Praha 3) was a working-class district of Prague named after the Hussite warrior Jan Žižka, with a developed Jewish community by the late 19th century. Sub-clan W is the third documented Žižkov Porges branch after Sub-clan BJ (Marie Porges of Příbram, †26 November 1913 in Žižkov-Prague) and the Žižkov-resident son Richard Porges of Sub-clan BJ.

Holocaust trajectory

Eleonore's children Josef, Jaro, Herma, Oskar (b. ca. 1890-1910) were the prime Protectorate-era deportation cohort. The Czech-language given names "Otla" and "Hedva" suggest Czech-leaning assimilation, which did not protect against Nazi racial persecution after March 1939.
