Inspired by seven photographs of WWII refugees in an old album, the
author embarked on a quest to uncover the story behind each
portrait. Had the refugees been rescued by the diplomat Chiune
Sugihara, who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust by
providing Japanese transit visas? Searching for the identities of
the people in the photographs, the author scoured historical
records and interviewed numerous fascinating individuals, including
Sugihara visa recipients and their descendants. While solving the
mystery of the people in the photographs, the author uncovered more
hero diplomats and new details about Sugihara visas. This account
of the author's investigation supports the legacy of Chiune
Sugihara and highlights other WWII saviors, such as the Dutch
diplomat Jan Zwartendijk.
