Brief review of the documentary "Sugihara: Conspiracy of Kindness"

"The history of World War II tells many tales of extraordinary courage. One of the most compelling and inspirational is that of Chiune Sugihara. In the face of the Nazi onslaught, this modest diplomat saved thousands of lives, using his authority to rescue fleeing Jewish refugees. This remarkable documentary chronicles the life of Sugihara and the little-known relationship between the Japanese and Jews in the 1930s and 40s."

The courage, compassion and humanity of Chiune Sugihara is well documented in this work.  I especially appreciated the sense that he was a man who was interested in and accepted many different kinds of people, who found the call upon his compassion eventually exhausting, and whose life went on in unremarkable ways after the war.
