Pullover belonging to Paul Peter Porges

The first children’s transport left Vienna for England a month after the November Pogrom. Before the start of World War II more than 3,000 children were rescued in this way. In March 1939 the 12-year-old Paul Peter Porges also had to take leave of his family. He arrived at Château de la Guette, France, which had been made available by the Rothschild family. For the journey his grandmother gave him a pullover with the initials PPP embroidered on it. The cartoonist (New Yorker, Mad Magazine) has kept the nickname PPP to this day.
