Why+people+say+Chiune+is+a+hero

A hero is a person who helps other people even if they may lose their own important things. Chiune Sugihara wasn't supposed to issue the visas for Jews, but he had issued them even though he knew he would lose his position if he ignored the suggestions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. And he allowed his heart to guide his work. Because of Chiune`s heroism, thousands of people were able to escape the horrors of the Holocaust in Europe.
