Maksuda Begum broke down into tears as she remembered the day she lost her son, Shaon in the July 1, 2016 Holey Artisan terror attack. Maksuda now receives Tk5,000 from the owner of Holey Artisan, which she said "barely" helps her to get by. I thought my family’s hardships were finally over when Shaon got this job at Holey Artisan. Agnese Barola Rizvi, an Italian national who lost her friends in the attack, said: “Just by being here, I feel the presence of all my friends. "As a Bangladeshi, I think I have a responsibility to pay homage to the victims who lost their lives here," he said.
