The family of Matilda, the youngest victim in the Bundy shootings, urged the community not to let her death spark outrage as they said their final goodbyes to the 10-year-old on Thursday.
Matilda was one of 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on Sunday at an event celebrating the start of Hanukkah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
Speaking to the BBC at Matilda’s funeral, her aunt Lina Chernykh said that while Sydney’s Jewish community wanted more to be done to stamp out anti-Semitism, Matilda was a happy child and she wanted that happiness to live on in her memory.
Video released by the family showed Rabbi Eli Schlanger holding the arm of Matilda’s father, Michael, during the Tefillin prayer ceremony before the attack, while Matilda stood by in a yellow dress.
