In 1940, the Japanese consul to Lithuania, with help from his family, defied his government to help hundreds of Jewish refugees escape from the Nazis. Here, Hiroki Sugihara, the consul's eldest son, recounts those events. Afterword by Hiroki Sugihara. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese Schindler', who, with his family's encouragement, saved the lives of thousands of Polish Jews in World War II.
