As a young boy, Hiroki Sugihara lived in Lithuania, where his father was a diplomat. One morning, the family woke up to find a crowd of people outside of the house. They were Jews from Poland looking for visas and safe passage to Japan. Despite the danger that he and his family would be in, Hiroki’s father began writing visas for the refugees and continued for many days, saving thousands of lives — “Sugihara’s survivors.” This unforgettable story as remembered by Hiroki will resonate with readers for a long time to come.
