When Chiune Sugihara was growing up in Japan, he had never even met a Jewish person. There was no way Chiune could know that he would one day save the lives of thousands of Jews - and become a great hero to the Jewish people. Chiune Sugihara was a diplomat who left Japan to work in Lithuania, a small country in Eastern Europe. Part of his job there was to give people permission to leave the country. At the time, Lithuanian Jews were suffering under Nazi rule, and many hoped to escape before they could be taken to concentration camps. Chiune knew he had to help.

Very well presented with the circumstances clearly expressed: The Jews, who were
awaiting execution and the Diplomat who was in a dilemma. If he did nothing, the
Jews would likely be assassinated. As a diplomat, however, he could issue them
visas which would enable them to leave for freedom--at his own risk. But he ended
by deciding to issuing them visas, and they were able to find freedom. Chiune came
to become recognized as a hero for his actions, by many people of the the world,
myself included, thanks to this author.
