Since Friday, our news feeds have been filled with scenes of chaos, heartache and confusion.
People are hurt, they’re angry and they’re confused.
The wider world want to support the French, as families and friends in the capital grieve those who were taken too soon.
By reckless men who stole their lives.
Now one Twitter account is looking to give the victims back their identity. For them to be remembered not as someone who fell into victims at the hands of terrorism, but as people who were loved, cherished and lived their lives.
The En mémoire Twitter account is a Mashable project, commemorating the victims of the Paris attacks.
While it’s unlikely we’ll ever hear about the intricate details of each victim’s life, now their friends and family can share a titbit about the real person behind the news story that’s gripped the world.
Here is a selection of those whose memory have already been contributed to the account:
