COrnell Capa dies
Another legendary Hungarian Jew passes from this mortal coil -- another famous Hungarian Jewish photographer dies.
Cornell Capa began life as Kornel Freidman in Budapest in 1918 (strange as it may seem Kornel was a popular name for assimilated Jews at the beginning of the 20th Century -- My grandfather was also named Kornel).
Capa was known as a photographer, as someone who preserved and continued his brother Robert's legacy, as a photojournalist in his own right for Life and for his role at Magnum, the United Artists of photo agencies, and also known for founding and for his stewardship of New York's International Center for Photography (ICP)
