| Summary/Abstract |
THERE REMAINS an unflagging interest in the personality of Chiune Sugihara (1900-1986), a Japanese diplomat who rescued more than 6,000 Jews during World War II. Some refer to him as Japan's Wallenberg. He is one of the best-known and revered citizens of Japan of the 20th century, who was honored by Israel's government with the title "Righteous among the Nations." Scholarly conferences devoted to Chiune Sugihara are being held; there are also films and books about him.
