star-of-davidMagda Korda (Malka bat Yaakov), mother of Paul Korda, died last week in Florida and was buried Sunday. Paul has been taking care of his mother for the last month and was with her in her final moments. She died peacefully at home. Magda was born in in Hungry in 1918 and was a Holocaust survivor.
