Editorial Reviews

The story of an extraordinary Japanese diplomat who sacrificed his own diplomatic career during World War II to write the precious visas that saved an estimated 2,000 to 6,000 lives. While American diplomats through the neutral world were forbidden to grant such visas, Japanese Consul Sugihara took it upon himself, in direct defiance of his government's orders, to do just that. Working day and night he issued an estimated 1600 visas.
