*Gov. Reynolds Statement on David **Wolnerman* 

 
DES MOINES - Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the death of David Wolnerman, Des Moines’ last known Holocaust survivor: 

 

“Despite enduring the horrors of Nazi concentration camps as a young boy, I was always inspired by David’s optimism and his generosity to the Des Moines community. He led a life we can all learn from – focused on faith, family, and community. 

 

“David’s two sons, their families, and everyone mourning his death are in Kevin’s and my prayers. May David’s story live on for generations, so it is never forgotten.”
