Blackcatter, thanks for the link to your article. I was pleased to see Sugihara mentioned. We have a wonderful woman,Mariko (Mako) Miller, here in Wyoming, whose father was a very big wig in post-war Japan and married a Japanese woman. Mako wrote a biography of her parents which became a best-seller in Japan. She is recognised on the streets there. She is an Honorary United States Ambassador to Japan and as such brings many cultural exchanges both to Washington, DC and to Wyoming, for which I am very grateful.

One of the most memorable of those was a visit by Sugihara's son, who spoke to us of his father and his life. It was an honour to learn of his efforts.

While I hold a good deal of respect for everyone who has posted on this thread, it sickens me to see such bickering; it seems to have become the norm for the Mudcat. Millions were murdered, many still are being murdered. Enough said, remember them and work for Peace.
