Victim of Bondi massacre is Holocaust survivor who died saving wife

Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor and grandfather, was among the victims killed in the Bondi Beach shooting during a Jewish festival. Kleytman died while trying to shield his wife, Larisa, as two gunmen allegedly opened fire on attendees celebrating Hanukkah. The couple, who immigrated to Australia from Ukraine after surviving the Holocaust as children, had been married for 50 years and shared a large family. The attack left 16 people dead, including one of the gunmen, and dozens more injured, as the community reels from the tragedy and authorities continue their investigation into the firearms used in the incident.
