From the November 17, 2019 Chicago Tribune by Kathy McCormack, AP.

The last remaining survivor of te Hindenburg disaster, Werner Gustav Doehner has died at age 90.  He died on November 8 in Laconia, New Hampshire.

Doehner was the only person left of the 62 passengers who survived the May 6, 1937, fire that killed his father, sister and 34 others.  He was just 8 years old at the time.

"He did not talk about it," his son Bernie Doehner said.  "It was definitely a repressed memory.  He lost his sister, he lost his dad."

Bernie said his father took him to visit the naval station years later, but not the Hindenburg Memorial itself.
