Six years ago, a madman, "fearing" 'The Great Replacement Theory', promoted on the right, slaughtered 11 Jews in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Anti-Immigrant and anti-Semitism crossed paths, much like today. Here are their names:

Rose Mallinger
Rose Mallinger, 97, was the oldest of the victims but "age was truly just a number," the Mallinger family said in a statement.

Jerry Rabinowitz
Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, 66, was killed when he ran outside to try to help the wounded, according to his nephew, Avishai Ostrin.

Cecil and David Rosenthal
Brothers Cecil Rosenthal, 59, and David Rosenthal, 54, were both killed in the attack. Both brothers were developmentally disabled.

Daniel Stein
Daniel Stein, 71, was a "simple man" who loved going to synagogue and playing with his grandson, his son, Joe Stein, wrote on Facebook.

Richard Gottfried
Richard Gottfried, 65, a successful dentist, had reconnected with his faith following his father's death and at one point became the president of the 70-member congregation in Pittsburgh, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Joyce Fienberg
Victim Joyce Fienberg, 75, a former research specialist, was survived by her two sons and grandchildren. Her husband died in 2016.

Melvin Wax
Melvin Wax, 88, a retired accountant, was a fixture of the congregation, friend Myron Snider told The Associated Press.

Bernice and Sylvan Simon
Sylvan Simon, 86, and his wife, Bernice Simon, 84, were killed in the same synagogue where they married in December 1956, The Tribune-Review reported.

Irving Younger
Irving Younger, 69, a father and grandfather, was a regular volunteer and worshiper at the synagogue, where he would come early and stay late,The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
