"Visa of Life" Chiune Sugihara SEMPO Musuem
March 2019 Opened in Yaesu 2-chome

It has been a year since it opened in Yaesu. I visited Chiune Sugihara SEMPO Museum, which is still not well known, probably due to the influence of corona. The musical released in 2013, SEMPO ~ Japan's Schindlers Chiune Sugihara (Cast Koji Kikkawa, Honoka Suzuki, etc.) It seems that it was opened with the efforts of staff including the producer. It is difficult for Jewish people to pronounce Chiune "Chiune", so he said he himself called SEMPO Senpo.

Now that the trend of self-priority is rising, I wanted you to know more about Chiune Sugihara.

Chiune Sugihara issued visas to many Jews persecuted by Nazis Germany in Canaus, Lithuania, who had been assigned as Deputy Consul-General of Japan during World War II, and saved about 6,000 Jewish refugees (from the pamphlet of SEMPO Musuem).
