This film tells the previously unknown story of Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat (sometimes called the Schindler of Japan) and his life leading up to as well as after his decision to issue over 2,000 visas to Jewish refugees in Kaunas, Lithuania resulting in saving the lives of over 6,000 people. Caught between the unbending policies of his country now bound by treaty with Nazi Germany and his awakening moral responsibilities, we follow his life from his early days in Manchuria to his eventual posting in Lithuania and his appointment with destiny which would forever brand him a hero. Film will be introduced by director Cellin Gluck and followed by an audience Q&A.
Film will begin at 7:00 PM with remarks by the Consul General of Japan in Boston, Mr. Setsuo Omori.
Join us early at 5:30 PM for a kosher-style Japanese-inspired dinner.
Please check out the film on official film website (Japanese only) and the Nippon TV website for the film (English only).
