Today marks one month since a father and son allegedly went on a killing rampage at Bondi Beach, targeting Jewish Australians as they celebrated Chanukah by the Sea.
In the days after, thousands of tributes poured in to pay tribute to the 15 lives stolen.
Now, a harbour away from the shores of Bondi Beach, an unassuming warehouse in North Sydney is doubling as an operations centre to turn mourning to memory.
