Emerging Heroes - WWII-Era Diplomats, Jewish Refugees, and Escape to Japan (Paperback): Akira Kitade Emerging Heroes - WWII-Era Diplomats, Jewish Refugees, and Escape to Japan (Paperback)
Akira Kitade; Translated by Kuniko Katz; Edited by Donna Ratajczak
R548 R502 Discovery Miles 5 020 Save R46 (8%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

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.
