Dick Cavett interviews Congressman Tom Lantos (passed away in February 2008) tells about his experience in a work labor camp during World War II. He escaped to a safe house established by Raul Wallenberg but later learned he lost his whole family in the Nazi's in Death Camps. Tom Lantos died of cancer of the esophagus aged 80 at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland. The only Holocaust survivor ever elected to Congress, he founded the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and was a strong supporter of Israel in the House. During a long and distinguished career as both hawk and social liberal, Tom Lantos was Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee from 2007 and senior member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He passed away during his 14th term in office. Born in Budapest to Jewish parents, the future congressman was sent to a Nazi labor camp in 1944 but escaped. Three years later, he came to the US on an academic scholarship. He performed many delicate diplomatic missions for both Democrat and Republican administrations. In 2004, he was among the first American lawmakers to visit Libya in decades and reported back it was time for US overtures to normalize relations with Tripoli. He also carried informal messages between US administrations and Israel governments and Bashar Assad in Damascus. Lantos married his childhood sweetheart Annette, the couple has two daughters, 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. May Peace Be Upon Your Soul!
