Sugihara (25893) -- 青山有幸埋忠骨


Chiune Sugihara (杉原千畝 Sugihara Chiune, January 1, 1900July 31, 1986) was a Japanese diplomat who saved Jews during the World War II when he was a Japanese consul to Lithuania. He was one of those who appeared to have no discernible motivation other than just wanting to do what was right, and came to be known as the "Japanese Schindler."
