Chiune Sugihara saved thousands during the Holocaust and is remembered in this article. He’s often known as the Japanese Schindler and was the Consul General in Lithuania. (Huffington Post – Chiune Sugihara)

Also on Spike you can see the Oscar winning short Visas and Virtues that’s based on Chiune Sugihara. Wish the quality was a bit better.
