翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Tom Lantos ： ウィキペディア英語版 Tom Lantos Thomas Peter "Tom" Lantos (February 1, 1928 – February 11, 2008)〔 〕 was an American politician who served as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from California, serving from 1981 until his death as the representative from a district that included the northern two-thirds of San Mateo County and a portion of southwestern San Francisco. Lantos had announced in early January 2008 that he would not run for reelection because of cancer of the esophagus,〔(Lantos, stricken with cancer, to retire at the end of the year ) ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 2, 2008; retrieved January 2, 2008.〕 but died before finishing his term. A Hungarian-American, Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor to have served in the United States Congress.〔 "The only Holocaust survivor to serve in the United States Congress, Tom Lantos was born February 1, 1928, in Budapest. Just 16 years old when the Nazis invaded Hungary, Lantos was active in the underground resistance before he was imprisoned in a Nazi labor camp in Hungary."〕 In speaking before the House of Representatives after his death, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that Lantos "devoted his public life to shining a bright light on the dark corners of oppression... He used his powerful voice to stir the consciousness of world leaders and the public alike."〔Representative Nancy Pelosi, video, 7 min.〕 U2 lead singer Bono called him a "prizefighter", whose stamina would make him go "any amount of rounds, with anyone, anywhere, to protect human rights and common decency".〔 video clip, 2 minutes〕 In 2008, after his death, the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, which he founded in 1983, was renamed the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Its mission is partly "to promote, defend and advocate internationally recognized human rights". In 2011, the Tom Lantos Institute was set up in Budapest to promote tolerance and support minority issues in central and eastern Europe and in the world.〔("Tom Lantos Institute set up in Budapest" ), Politics.hu, May 2, 2011〕 ==Early years== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Lantos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
