"Passage to Freedom: The Sugihara Story" tells the inspiring true story of Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania during World War II. Faced with the plight of thousands of Jewish refugees seeking escape from Nazi persecution, Sugihara made the courageous decision to issue transit visas, allowing them to flee to safety. Despite the dangers and potential consequences he faced, he prioritized humanity over politics, ultimately saving over 6,000 lives. The book highlights themes of bravery, compassion, and the importance of standing up for what is right, showcasing Sugihara's legacy as a beacon of hope during a dark chapter in history.
