Scene Around
First, a somber memory .
Jan. 27 was Holocaust Remembrance Day. That brings to mind the late former Congressman from California, Tom Lantos, who passed some years ago from cancer. For those of you who aren t familiar with him, I will try to fill you in:
Tamas (Thomas) Peter Lantos was born in Bupapest, Hungary, to a Jewish family that was very educated with teachers, professors, etc.
Of course, during World War II, they were sent to concentration camps. When Tom was 16 years old he was beaten by Nazis and doing hard labor in a forced labor camp. Thank goodness he survived and grew up in.
