Sempo Sugihara Max Tarczali (Rescuer) He was born in 1900 in Japan and died in 1986. He was a Japanese ambassador that lived in Lithuania in 1940. During the holocaust, he was a Japanese diplomat who risked his career to save the Jews. When thousands of Jews left Poland to get far away from Hitler, they packed around his house begging for help. He tried to give a crowd of Polish Jews, transit visas but the government said no. If they were given the transit visas then they could have moved to Russia before the holocaust would have killed them. Then later on, he hand wrote 2100 visas between June and august. After he handed the visas to each of the polish Jews, him and his family moved to Berlin. The reason why sempo sugihara’s a rescuer is because he risked his life and career to save over 2 thousand Jews from being tortured in the holocaust. Greene, Ron.
