Publisher's Synopsis
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.
