This man is a saint. We all know about Schindler- why don’t we know about this guy? He saved 5 times as many as Schindler.
hats off, he is saint. there is another one called Ho Feng-shan, ua-cam.com/video/f8wpDNAjfms/v-deo.html
they shined the sky in the darkest times
Schindler was a German Sugihara, not the other way around....
My grandfather used to tell me that during WWII there were many foreign residents including Jewish people in my hometown Kobe, Japan. There has been a dignified synagogue in Kobe since 1912. Although it experienced a big air-raid by US force, it was rebuilt and is now near my home. Jewish people were very diligent and family-oriented, and always good neighbors, he said.
Yes I think some children attended International school in Kobe called Canadian Academy ( about 150 years old) used to locate in Mikage Kobe. ( now new camp as in Rokko island) I have seen pictures at the school.
Under-appreciated hero. -Austen

すごい信念を持った人だ
Sugihara lived in my city Kaunas and we have muzeum in his former house to honer him. Great guy, I'm happy that he lived in Lithuania, but I'm very sad for all the Lithuanian Jews that died
If only more people had been like Sugihara. 🇯🇵
Thank you. What a hero!
Almost absolutely incredible. But it just takes one good human being to do the right thing.
Very true statement.
THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE A MOVIE OUT OF THIS SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW HOW KIND THIS SUGIHARA WAS,, UNSUNG HERO

I read the the book A Special Fate, I love this dude.
The Sugiharas were both Christians. I read that when Chiune's wife saw the Jewish children and people in need at the consulate, verse 2:19 from Lamentations came to her mind. 'Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord! Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.' Then when Chiune asked if she would agree for him to issue visas for them, she agreed and said ' I do not know what will happen to us but please issue the visas for them.'
wow. much respect to this guy
Sugihara was born in the 1st of January, 1900.
Bless him💐💐Thank you.
Hero
Absolut Hero.
I accidentally found the story of Sugihara Google touring the city of Tsuruga-shi, Japan and findingthe Port of Humantiy Tsuruga Museum.
Japanese government was against racial discrimination from day one. Although Germany was an ally with Japan during WW2, Japan helped those people based on the human rights. Japan also saved many Jewish people including small children (Polish people) from Soviet in the east during WW2. His name is 樋口季一郎 Kiichirou Higuchi. He issued visas to those people trapped in Soviet union to escape to Japan, then safely to their country. Hitler was furious but Japan was did it based on the human rights. I am Japanese, and I am proud of them. Their names are on the Golden Book.
But what about Nanking massacre? Or Korean forced prostitution? How was that possible then if human rights were to be respected?
"I disobey the government so as not to disobey God." words of this great man
I love this quote
