As the grandson of a couple of Holocaust survivors who built up from nothing to raise a large, and flourishing family. I feel like I should have known about him. There are few survivors left, and unfortunately they are not going to be here forever. A piece of history has died. Every time a survivor passes we get one step further away from knowledge and experience in a belief in G-d that I think no one in our generation knows. I remember my grandfather telling me what belief in G-d means. I don’t have an ounce of what they had. Tom Lantos will be sorely missed. I didn’t know that he existed, I feel bad about this.
