Not sure what to say?

I just watched a documentary on this man's life. God and his friend in the death camp, saved him for a reason. He had much work to do. May his legacy move people. Especially to stop the hate. I am of Norwegian descent and a Lutheran, living in northern Minnesota. May his memory be blessed.

Peace Shalom Asalaam, I just saw the short movie of this beautiful man and SO happy you all were able to find the woman who helped him in the "camp". This was marvelous and so glad that is out for others to see as well. Never Forget A Muslim Neighbor in Morriville PA

I met Cantor Wisnia travelling with his family at Trenton airport a few years ago. I noticed his 101st shirt and asked him about it. He came out of the security line to speak with me and he was happy to take a photo with me. Even in those few minutes I knew this was a very special individual. He lived by his credo "Be a Blessing" He is an example I personally try to emulate and I hold him up to my kids as an example to follow. David - You Won - you left an example for all of us to live up...

G-d has blessed this family. I was honored to be at Congregation Kesher Israel in West Chester, PA. on Yom Ha Shoah, April 17, 2023 to hear David's multi-talented grandson Avi speak. I was also privileged to meet David's son Rabbi Eric Wisnia. His family is a blessing. As David said to Avi, "As long as you sing, Hitler didn't win."

May God bless this extraordinary man, his life and his family. There are no words

May he be with the angel he's a true life super hero

An extraordinary man-who emerged from the horrors of the Shoah to share his extraordinary gifts with so many others. He officiated at my father's funeral, and gave much comfort to our family. May his soul be bound with the bonds of life. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I was just thinking about Cantor Wisnia, who sang at my bar mitzvah 53 years ago. He and his family have impacted my life immensely and I am a better person for having the good fortune to have known this fine man. I wish time could stand still. Sweet dreams to you, Cantor David Wisnia!

Rabbi Wisnia married and converted my husband and I 32 years ago! What a surprise that cantor Wisnia basmitvah both our daughters 16 years ago. A small world indeed! I ran into cantor a few years back at a produce stand and told him he had to marry my girls when it was time. He said it was time sadly it wasn't. Our thoughts are with you all!!
