Holocaust survivors, dedicated volunteers, faith leaders, and heroes who tried to stop the shooting have been named among the 15 victims of the Bondi beach terror attack in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday.

Most were attending a celebration for the first day of Hanukah when the shooting began. It is the worst mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.

A further 38 people were wounded and 22 patients, including two police officers, remained in hospital as of Tuesday evening.

Police believe the ages of those who died range between 10 and 87.

Here are the victims who have been named so far.
