The world is stunned with the multiple terrorist attacks that took place on November 13 in France. The attacks claimed by the Islamic State, which occurred in three different locations, including a sidewalk bistro and a concert hall, left over 120 dead and many other hundreds severely injured.
Among the innocent lives killed at places such as The Bataclan Theater in Paris, where a rock concert was taking place, are six victims of Hispanic and Spanish descent, including a Mexican-American university student from California who was studying a semester abroad in the European country. These are the victims we lost in the ISIS bombings.
Nohemí González, 23, U.S.A.
Nohemí was born in Long Beach, Calif. and was a proud first generation Mexican-American. She studied design at California State University and was studying abroad in France at the State College of Design. She was having dinner Friday night with three friends when gunmen pulled up to the bistro and opened fire. Nohemí's family and friends remember her as humble and full of life.
