The body of Magda Grace, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, was found on Monday night, the night of the Holocaust, in her apartment in Gilat Towers in Be'er Sheva. She apparently passed away on Passover eve, and since being without family and close friends, no one has called to check on her peace. 

A ZAKA man who was in the apartment and cared for Magda's body found near her, a letter, a kind of will, which Magda hung on the wall, in which she wrote, among other things: "I have no family in Israel and abroad. Cause of death is not criminal, I am very ill ", And ended the letter with one request:" Save the birds in the cages. " Continuing with a will letter, Magda added the details of her estate manager, and the branch of the health fund where she was treated, and finally mentioned the name of the rabbi who wanted her buried.

Magda was a doctor and lecturer at the university. Yesterday, ZAKA Be'er Sheva volunteer, Shimon Zagori, received a call from a community rabbi in Beersheba and told him about a Holocaust survivor from Romania who did not answer the phone, and the last time he contacted her was at Passover.

Zagori immediately called the police and MDA. "It is difficult to describe the play that came to his eyes," Zagori said. An awful smell flooded the building, and inside the woman was found in the position of 'losing a human photographer'. Apparently she passed away on Passover eve. From what we saw in the apartment, she probably slipped, was hit in the head, and died a brutal death because there was no one to help her. It hurts to find a human being like that. "

Yehuda Silk Gold Zakka Chairman: "How ironic and painful to handle the Holocaust Remembrance Day evening, the body of a Holocaust survivor woman who survived the inferno, and with no one left to remember, found her death tragically alone. We beg you, take every responsibility One in your residential building, to save our dwarf neighbors from cruel and unnecessary death. "
