Did you or your parents or someone you know escape from Lithuania via Japan having received a transit visa from the Japanese Consul in Kovno - Chiune (Sempo) Sugihara.?
Were any of your relations boys of the Mir Yeshiva who ended up in Shanghai??
Have you or they ever returned to Japan?
This October I will be taking a kosher tour to Japan and we will be visiting Kobe and spending a Shabbat there. We will also visit the village of Yoatsu which was Sugihara’s home town and where there is a memorial to him.
Might this be of interest?
If so please get in touch with me for full details of the tour - avivapreston@hotmail.com
