Emerging Heroes. WWII-Era Diplomats, Jewish Refugees, and Escape to Japan, Paperback

Seven haunting portraits of WWII refugees motivated Akira Kitade to identify the individuals portrayed. Were they among the thousands rescued by Chiune Sugihara's life-saving Japanese transit visas? In this account of his investigation, Kitade uncovers more saviors, including the Dutch diplomat Jan Zwartendijk, and provides new insights about Sugihara visas.
