In Loving Memory of Cantor David S. Wisnia
Cantor David S. Wisnia, 94, passed away on June 15, 2021.
David Wisnia was a vocalist, composer, educator and beloved community leader. Later in life, he would use his powerful baritone to share with the world his remarkable tale of surviving the Holocaust through story and song, tracing his harrowing journey from young Polish singing star to Auschwitz prisoner to American liberator with the 101st Airborne. Cantor Wisnia’s remarkable singing voice helped save him in the Nazi concentration camp.
David will certainly be remembered for his incredible voice, but he will also be remembered for his love of hot soup, fancy cars, teaching his students, and making friends with anyone and everyone he came into contact with. David will be dearly missed by so many, but his story, his voice, and his legacy will continue to resonate from generation to generation. Please join us as we come together in community to remember him.
