"Passage to Freedom: The Sugihara Story" by Ken Mochizuki tells the true story of Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania during World War II. When faced with the plight of Jewish refugees seeking to escape the horrors of the Holocaust, Sugihara takes a courageous stand by issuing visas that allow thousands to flee to safety. The story captures Sugihara's moral dilemma, his steadfast determination to help those in need, and the impact of his actions on countless lives. Through beautiful illustrations and poignant storytelling, it highlights themes of compassion, bravery, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
