How is Tom Lantos a holocaust survivor?

Question

Rep. Lantos (CA) is always reported/mentioned as a holocaust survivor. However,the Wiki and other sources indicate he and his family were merely in Hungary during the Nazi occupation,but no indication they were ever bothered in any way. In any event,he never saw the inside of a concentration camp. What gives?

Answer 1

He wants people to sympathize him and make people guilty enough to vote for him.
