Holocaust survivor remembered for her warmth
Family farewells Eva Geller, remembering her kindness, resilience and a life devoted to those she loved.
A private funeral was held on Monday for Eva Geller, the Holocaust survivor who died last Thursday, almost 11 months after she was shot in the Bondi Beach terror attack.
The 90-year-old was recently taken to hospital with an infection linked to her injuries, and had a stroke while receiving treatment.
Delivering her eulogy, Nefesh spiritual leader Rabbi Aron Moss described her as “a kind and gentle person” who was “naturally friendly and sociable”.
He said everyone in the family, including her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and in-laws, called her “Anyu”, Hungarian for “Mum”.
The eulogy drew on biographical information researched by Geller’s great-granddaughter Tali Meskin for her Hans Kimmel school project, for which Meskin interviewed Geller while she was in hospital.
