"Passage to Freedom" by Ken Mochizuki tells the poignant story of a young boy named Yoshiko during World War II. Set against the backdrop of the Japanese internment in the United States, the narrative unfolds as Yoshiko's family faces the harsh realities of prejudice and loss of freedom. When a compassionate diplomat, Chiune Sugihara, risks his life to help Jewish refugees escape from Nazi-occupied Europe, Yoshiko witnesses bravery and humanity in the face of adversity. This inspiring tale emphasizes the importance of empathy, courage, and standing up for what is right, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit.
