Terror survivor still doesn't feel safe

TERROR attack survivor Yoni Finlay has warned that his community still does not feel safe.

Yoni was shot last October in the terrorist attack on Heaton Park Synagogue, in which Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz were killed.

“The community doesn't feel any safer a year on from Heaton Park,” Yoni said. “There are more gates and more security than we have ever had. Any event we have does not have the address displayed on the poster, our kids go to schools that look like fortresses. Every Jewish building has to have security.”

Earlier this year, he joined the March of the Living in Poland, where he spent time with Holocaust survivors and survivors of other antisemitic attacks, an experience he says gave him both a greater sense of pride and a responsibility to confront hatred.
