Visas for Life: The Remarkable Story of Chiune and Yukiko Sugihara


"If you save the life of one person, it is as if you saved the world entire."
-- Jewish Proverb

Chiune (Sempo) Sugihara, the Japanese consular official serving in Lithuania, saved one of the largest number of Jews in the Holocaust.

When I went into the office, I didn't have any papers because I was 'stateless.' I went over there with a couple hundred people, and I got the visa. Thank God, I was one of the lucky ones to leave . . . . Sugihara did it for humanitarian reasons. He was a very generous man, and we hope that he will be remembered for a long time.

-- George Broenstein, Sugihara survivor
