Description 1 online resource Series Judaism and Jewish life Summary "Inspired by 7 photographs of WWII refugees in an old album, the author embarked on a quest to uncover the story behind each portrait. Had the refugees been rescued by the diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust by providing Japanese transit visas? Searching for the identities of the people in the photographs, the author scoured historical records and interviewed numerous fascinating individuals, including Sugihara visa recipients and their descendants. While solving the mystery of the people in the photographs, the author uncovered more hero diplomats and new details about Sugihara visas. This account of the author's investigation supports the legacy of Chiune Sugihara and highlights other WWII saviors, such as the Dutch diplomat Jan Zwartendijk"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Sugihara, Chiune, 1900-1986.
