Told from Hiroki Sugihara's point of view, readers learn how his father, a Japanese diplomat saved 10,000 Jewish refugees while then Sugihara family lived in Lithuania. Despite the Japanese government's wishes, he issued visas to the refugees in Lithuania.
Mr. Machizuki describes the father's agony as he makes his decision and his personal sacrifice for the refugees.
This story reveals how one person and their selfless love can make a huge difference.
What an amazing story!!
**Highly, highly recommend.
