Geographic dispersal
Franziska's 5 children spread across Prague, Sobau (Soběslav), New York,
and Karlsbad via brother Daniel. The Bertha Schwartz / New York connection
documents an 1880s-1890s Bohemian-Jewish emigration to the United States,
whose descendants would have been safe through the Holocaust era.
Holocaust trajectory
- Rosa, Henriette, Hugo Mohr / Ekstein families, Prague — high Protectorate-era risk
- Leo Mohr family, Sobau — Czech rural transport risk 1942-1944
- Bertha Schwartz family, New York — safe through the Holocaust era
- Daniel Porges, Karlsbad — extreme Sudeten-area risk after September 1938;
Karlsbad fell to the Nazis after the Munich Agreement
