The Miracle Visas
This book, though listed under "Children's Books," is a book for people of all ages (in fact, the graphic descriptions of what took place at German concentration camps are a bit too much for young children). The main character is a young Jewish boy who flees Poland and goes to Lithuania to escape from the advancing German army at the start of World War II. While in Lithuania, he encounters Chiune "Sempo" Sugihara, the Japanese consul general, who risks his life and career to save thousands of Jews by writing transit visas for them so they can leave Lithuania and go to Israel or the United States.

Sempo Sugihara was a great man, and this novel (by a Japanese author) helps the reader see him in a unique light -- through the eyes of a Jewish refugee who searches for Sugihara after the war. It details the life of Jewish refugees as they passed through Japan on their way to other countries.

I recommend this novel to anyone who is interested in Japan, the Holocaust or Sempo Sugihara. ... Read more
