What did Sugihara famously say he was giving out?

  • “Tickets to life”

  • “Passports to freedom”

  • “Keys to survival”

  • “Letters of hope”

Answer

“Tickets to life” were travel visas famously issued by Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara in defiance of his government's orders during World War II. These visas allowed thousands of Jewish refugees to flee Nazi-occupied Europe and find safety in Japan and beyond, saving countless lives during the Holocaust. Sugihara's courageous actions, often referred to as "Visas for Life," remain an iconic symbol of humanitarianism and compassion in the face of adversity.
