Sacrificing his career, Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania in 1940, disobeyed his government and issued thousands of visas, ultimately saving the lives of an estimated six thousand Jews. Gold's inclusion of two Sugihara visa recipients, both children at the time, gives the biography a compelling slant. Despite occasionally stiff prose, the account is engaging and dramatic. Photos and an epilogue on Sugihara's life after the war are included.
