The Sugihara Chiune Memorial Hall in Kaunas, Lithuania, commemorates the achievements of diplomat Sugihara Chiune (1900-1986), who saved thousands of Jews during World War II with his 'Visas for Life.' Sugihara, widely known both domestically and internationally as the 'Schindler of the East,' rescued many Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. The building, which served as the Japanese consulate where Sugihara issued visas on the first floor and his residence on the second floor, has been open to the public as the Sugihara Memorial Hall since 2000. It has become a popular tourist destination visited by many people, including Japanese, Eastern Europeans, and Jews. Japanese prime ministers have also visited the memorial when they traveled to Lithuania. ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦ Spot Information 📍Exclusive souvenirs are sold here Payment in Japanese yen is also accepted 📍Approximately 25 minutes on foot (about 2 km) from Kaunas Station Approximately 10 minutes by taxi
