Chiune Sugihara

Few days ago, both His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress visited Lithuania and went to the monument of "Chiune Sugihara." I wondered who he is, so I researched and surprized! He was a consular agent of Lithuania during the World War Ⅱ. He had quite a fine command of Russian that even native Russian couldn't identified whether Mr.Sugihara was Japanese only to hear his speaking. What I surprized was that he saved at least 6,000 Jewish people from the Nazis by giving them the Visa. Some people said that Japanese government over looked his command while they were taking naturality toward Jewish problem because of the accord between Germany. But I still respect Mr.Sugihara's decition, he practically disobey the order from the Japanese govenment and save a lot of people's life.
