About the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice: The Lantos Foundation was established in 2008 to carry forward the legacy of Congressman Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to the U.S. Congress and a leading human rights champion. Based in Concord, NH, the Foundation works with a range of partners and often in cooperation with the U.S. Government on issues that span the globe. With a small but agile team, the Foundation has become an influential voice in the human rights movement, particularly in the areas of international religious freedom, combating antisemitism, rule of law, internet freedom and more. The Foundation administers the Lantos Congressional Fellows Program, supports human rights advocates, activists and artists through its Front Line Fund grant program, awards the annual Lantos Human Rights Prize to honor and bring attention to heroes of the human rights movement, and is a key convener of the annual International Religious Freedom Summit.
