Holocaust Survivor, 90, Dies From Bondi Attack Injuries
6 Nov
Summary
- A 90-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in the Bondi Beach attack.
- She miraculously walked again after being told she never would.
- The victim had previously escaped the Holocaust as a child.
Nearly one year after the devastating Bondi Beach attack, 90-year-old Eva Geller has died from her injuries. Geller was among the many who were seriously wounded when two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish event on December 14. The attack tragically claimed fifteen lives, including a ten-year-old girl.
Geller, who had escaped the Holocaust as a child, was remembered for her enduring positivity and strength. Despite severe injuries that doctors said would prevent her from walking again, she miraculously regained the ability to walk through sheer determination. She had been undergoing regular hospital treatment since the attack.
Australian leader Anthony Albanese expressed his condolences, emphasizing the nation's remembrance of those affected. The incident, Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly three decades, led to significant gun law reforms and stricter regulations on hate speech. Police are consulting with the Coroner's office regarding Geller's death.
