Holocaust Survivor Killed at Bondi Beach: A Tragic Reminder of Evil—and the Value of Every Life Sydney, Australia — Among the victims killed in the Bondi Beach attack was 87-year-old Holocaust survivor Alexander (“Alex”) Kleytman. Reports say he died shielding his wife, Larisa, as gunfire erupted—an act of protection that reflected the same instinct to preserve life that carried many survivors through history’s darkest chapters. For Christians, the death of a Holocaust survivor in a modern-day act of hatred is a sobering reminder that evil does not retire, and that humanity still needs redemption. Alex’s story underscores the sacred truth that every life bears God-given dignity—especially those who endured unimaginable suffering and still chose to live, love, and protect others. As the world mourns, believers are praying for comfort for the grieving, healing for the wounded, and justice for the innocent. In moments like this, the Church is called to be present—to weep with those who weep, to stand against hatred, and to point to the only lasting hope that outlives death: the resurrection life found in Christ. #bondibeach #christian #australia
