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.
One person can make a difference, never forget that.
