Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died. Now this is a hero. Many people risked their lives to save Jewish people from Hitler’s rampage and it nice to see that they are thanked and celebrated.. the world needs to hear about more of these heroes and whenever I find stories about them I will post them here so you to can learn of them.
