WILLIAM LANGFAN

Liberator of Buchenwald
------------------------------------------------------------

A legendary Jewish lay leader has died at 100

"Bill was an amazing man and a good friend of The United West"

------------------------------------------------------------
In my many meetings with William, I listened to his fascinating accounts and felt that I was reliving history.

He participated in WWII as a soldier in a US Anti-aircraft unit (1943-1945), fought in the Battle of Britain, landed in Normandy, fought across France, Belgium (including the Battle of The Bulge), continued through Germany to a few miles from the German-Czech border when the war ended. He marched into Buchenwald being exposed to the horrific images moments after it was liberated. There and throughout the war, William served as the interpreter for his army unit, as he was fluent in French and Yiddish.

He attended the Sorbonne in France and later received a law degree from Cornell Law School. What intrigued me most, was William’s keen sense of applying the lessons of history to current events.

In the video below (a must watch from beginning to end), he does just that comparing Chamberlain’s meeting with Hitler and subsequent ceding of the Sudetenland to Germany to modern-day attempts to appease the Arabs through Israeli land concessions.

Tom Trento and The United West produced this story of Bill Lanfan in 2013, in the middle of the Obama Administration's disastrous policies negatively impacting Israel. Bill was an intelligent, sensitive, dedicated powerhouse of a man, a man who fought for his country in war and fought for his country and his beloved Israel, in peace. Take a few moments and let Bill touch your life as he touched ours.
