Memorial Hall Information/八百津町

Chiune Sugihara Memorial Hall Information

The hall was created using traditional refined construction methods using cypress grown in
Sugihara's hometown of Gifu. It accentuates the cultural differences between faraway Lithuania
and Yaotsu town where he was born with the architecture projecting his warmth and humanity beyond the bounds of time and space. The memorial hall houses a spacious wood framed exhibition room, Sugihara's office,
and a lookout room offering a panoramic view of Yaotsu town.

Decision Room
Could you have made the same decision in this room?

You'd have telegraphed a request - "May I issue visas to the refugees?" and would have already received the answer, "You may not issue visas to anyone who cannot follow formal procedures." You're at the point where you have to choose between saving Jewish lives and your rising career as a Japanese diplomat. Sugihara was faced with this exact dilemma.
