Pasaje a la libertad: La historia de Chiune Sugihara
Description
In Spanish. The true story of Chiune Sugihara, the "Japanese Schindler," who, with his family's encouragement, saved thousands of Jews in Lithuania during World War II.
As a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania in the 1940s, Chiune Sugihara had a chance to help thousands of Jews escape the Holocaust through Japan, but it was against his government's orders. When his five-year-old son Hiroki asked, "If we don't help them, won't they die?" Sugihara decided to assist the refugees.
Translated from Passage to Freedom, Pasaje a la libertad tells Sugihara's heroic story, highlighting his courageous humanity, and the importance of a child's opinion in his father's decision.
