Bust honors man behind ' Wallenberg passports'

Lancz, 76, avoided deportation to the Nazi death camps at least in part because of diplomat Raoul Wallenberg’s courageous initiative. He and thousands of other Hungarians survived and never forgot Wallenberg’s courage. His "selflessness, courage, conviction and nobility " in rescuing threatened people are reflected in Lancz’s bronze bust of Wallenberg unveiled yesterday in the garden of Christ church Cathedral. " In so doing, he managed to save the lives of tens of thousands," Lancz said yesterday, recalling how, through his own stealth and the " Wallenberg Passport," he avoided deportation and death."
