Andras Tamas had been drafted into the army, but the authorities mistook his native Hungarian language for the gibberish of a lunatic and had him committed to a psychiatric hospital in Russia. Then they forgot about him for fifty-three years.<\/p>\n
A few years ago, a doctor began to realize what had happened and helped Tamas recover the memories of who he was and where he came from. He recently returned home to Budapest as \u201cthe last prisoner of World War II.\u201d<\/p>\n
