These heroes risked their life as well as their family's during the dark days of the Holocaust. Passage to Freedom: The Sugihara Story, is one of the few picture books that documents this part of history. The back cover highlights both Jewish and Japanese culture by citing two prominent proverbs.The Jewish proverb- "If you save the life of one person, it is as if you saved the world entire." Japanese Proverb- "Even a Hunter cannot kill a bird that comet so him for refuge."The book includes an afterward by the son of the hero. Reading about the positive efforts of Righteous Gentiles provides a different perspective to the Holocaust. Sugihara had to decide whether he would follow his heart or follow his government's wishes. Few Holocaust era diplomats and leaders were willing to risk their job and their family's security. This book speaks directly to the choices that all people make. Standing up for what one believes is a character trait that should not be dismissed. This story raises many important questions that can be addressed at various age levels. I recommend that Sugihara's story be included in introductory discussions of the Holocaust. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful story, Library binding missing the Afterword *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021* This is wonderful story revealing quiet heroism and moral courage in WWII. The illustrations are beautiful and the book is nicely produced, but the Library binding does not include the Afterword by Hiroki Sugihara. This is a major omission by the publisher and clearly a mistake that needs correction. It is printed on the cover of the book that there is an Afterword by Hiroki Sugihara, yet it doesn't exist in the Library binding. This diminishes the educational impact of this wonderful story. I was planning to teach this book this week to my classes, but I will be returning it and getting the paperback version in the hopes that that edition is complete and includes the Afterword. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heroic story of compassion and sacrifice *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020* This beautiful story tells of a Japanese consul to Lithuania who risked everything to provide passports to fleeing Jews during WWII. It is a story of quiet courage, open compassion, and family strength. It is a loved and repeated read in our family. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4908204-passage-to-freedom-the-sugihara-story-rise-and-shine](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4908204-passage-to-freedom-the-sugihara-story-rise-and-shine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
