Japan To-do:

What we know as "Sugihara" was a team work. Sugihara cooperated with the Polish itelligence. Polish officers of Home Army produced false Japan visas using Sugihara's ones. The majority of those people died murdered by the Germans, Soviets and Polish Communists. Polish embassy in Japan helped the refugees. Why did the authors remove any trace of Polish part in "Sugihara" action? Probably because the source was his wife, who ignored secret part of Sugihara's activities.

I'm afraid that this point is not widely accepted or at least not famous. If this is "too secret" cooperation (ie. there is no reliable evidence because - conveniently - the others involved are dead) it is "too secret" for wikipedia. If it is something you or somebody has independently researched, it falls under "original research" which is also unsuitable for Wikipedia. If you want to include it, state clearly the source (ie. according to whom) - Skysmith 14:56, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ministry

The ministry of Foregin Affairs was replaced in 1940. I find the statement "The Japanese Foreign Ministry, still needing Chiune's language and organizational skills, decided to postpone disciplinary action until his skills were no longer needed" speculative. It doesn't also precise, which of the ministries is being mentioned where in the text.

Please sign your posts with "~~~~" after the message. If you find it speculative, correct it. Citing your sources also helps - Skysmith 14:56, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I have removed the statement that Sugihara was the only Asian named "Righteous among the Nations". There were two others, Dr. Feng-Shan Ho, the Chinese consul in Vienna from 1938-1940, and Pan Jun-Shun. See http://www1.yadvashem.org/righteous/bycountry/china.html. Bill 20:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
