Day of pain: sirens ring out to mark attack on Israel
Feelings of sadness, fear and trauma remain raw in the Jewish community of Australia two years after an attack on Israel, the deadly Hamas.
The community members gathered at the City Goldstone Gallery of Melbourne before dawn on Tuesday to remember what they had taken hostage on October 7, 2023.
The gallery was full of those who were mourning, and the sirens were torn apart with a few tears when they were played at 6.29 in the morning – the massacre began at the Nova Music Festival near the Gaza border.
The community stopped quietly. The only voices were sirens and quiet hiccups as a message shown by the families of the victims on a screen.

“This is a comprehensive demonstration to commemorate and go back and look back, because there is too much denial and rejection.” He said.
“The whole exhibition is based on three big stories, even though we have many personal stories, (including yeast puff).”
The visitors of the exhibition took a stamp called “Maya”, a copy of the tattoo she wore in memory of her mother.
Ms. Sanadze spoke while wearing a copy of the T -shirt seen before Maya’s death.
