Peter Lantos

‘Peter Lantos is a surprisingly cheeky chap for a Holocaust survivor in his mid-eighties. He’s not a man who wears his trauma on his sleeve. But on a quiet moment at Bergen Belsen, Peter told me why he felt he really needed to come back to the Nazi death camp for the 80^th anniversary of its liberation.’
