123 years ago #otd Chiune Sugihara was born. A Japanese #diplomat who served as vice-consul for the Japanese Empire in Kaunas, Lithuania.

During the Second World War, Sugihara helped thousands of #Jews flee Europe by issuing transit visas to them so that they could travel through Japanese territory, risking his job and the lives of his family.

In 1985, the State of Israel honored Sugihara as one of the Righteous Among the Nations for his actions.
