One of the wounded in Colorado attack is Holocaust survivor, friend says

One of the eight people wounded in the attack on a Colorado rally for the hostages held in Gaza is a Holocaust survivor, her friend says.

The victim is not named by the outlet.

“She is an amazing person. Not because she is hurt. She always is an amazing person,” the victim’s friend Chany Scheiner, tells 9NEWS.

“She speaks — she has spoken at our synagogues as well as other synagogues and schools just about her background and the Holocaust and from her own perspective. She is passionate about standing up for good things, and she is an extremely exceptional person,” Scheiner says.

“Always a smile on her face. Her life wasn’t easy, but she is just a bright light. And anybody who is her friend is a friend for life,” she says.

At least eight people were wounded yesterday in Boulder, Colorado — including one person in critical condition — when activists rallying for the release of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza were attacked by a man shouting “end Zionists,” who fired a makeshift flamethrower and threw firebombs at them.
