Aunt of 10-Year-Old Victim Comments on Her Passing

At a funeral for 10-year-old Matilda, the youngest victim of a Bondi Beach shooting, her family urged the community to honor her memory by spreading love instead of anger following the tragedy that left 15 dead during a Hanukkah celebration. Matilda’s aunt emphasized her joyful spirit, while community leaders linked the violence to rising antisemitism in Australia. The service also honored 87-year-old Alexander Kleytman, a Holocaust survivor who died protecting his wife during the attack. The incident has been classified as terrorism, prompting calls for action against hate crimes.
