I hope Sunday’s memorial was helpful to those who attended. I hope that the Jewish community feel enveloped in love and support from the thousands of ordinary Australians who attended and the coverage from local and International media
My family attended to pay our respects and I brought the French Flag with me in memory of my fellow countryman Dan Elkayam who died.
In the crowd were also
- young French people who are tramatised by what they saw, and some were injured by the gunmen
- people of all ages, nationalities and faiths
- brave people who assisted Police on scene, and rendered CPR to victims- yet feel guilty that they should have done more
- A drunk old guy who was bleeding from a fall and had caught public transport from Ramsgate, who sobbed throughout the ceremony and was crying “this Is not our country, what have we become”?
Hopefully, we will become a country who continues to fight racism, closely monitors who gets to own a gun, and who can see through propaganda designed to make us hate, or be complacent to hate.
