His government told him no.
Chiune Sugihara didn't care. He wrote thousands of visas to help Jews and others people flee the terror of the Holocaust.
Do read for inspiration about doing the right thing no matter who stands in your way.

I’m immensely thankful I got to work for him and with the team for the past two years.
He’s a wonderful person, a great member, and will make an even better Senator.
After
@RepDebDingell
-- speaking on behalf of Violence Against Women Act reauthorization -- urges members to "not let the NRA bully you," Republicans shout her down.
"You know what? You can't shout down a woman!" she says.
On my last day with
@repbenraylujan
, I just want to clear the record, set it all straight.
Michelle Lujan Grisham and Ben Ray Luján are not related.
Not even distantly.

Thanks for all the texts and emails checking in. Chairman Crowley is fine - was just a hot day in DC and a long day marching in protest.
But on that note, everyone should drink some water!
As others have noted, the weirdest part is that House GOPers stood and clapped Gaetz when he cast his present vote as if they were completely unaware that he'd just pulled the entire rug out from under them. so bizarre.
I know this is rhetorical, but Republicans and Fox News would have gone apo-fucking-plectic if Obama admin asked to pay for travel expenses for the Taliban.
But it's Trump, so they'll pretend to never have read this story.
From colleague John Roberts: Sources tell Fox News the WH will soon issue a statement indicating POTUS’ intention to veto the NDAA because of the base renaming issue.
Went from "count me out" to please, for the love of God, don't make me vote on impeachment rather quickly.
This is why Republicans who supported and enabled Trump shouldn't get a pass for just now doing the bare minimum of saying an attempted coup was...bad.
As President
@realDonaldTrump
stated last night, it is time to heal and move on.
If Speaker Pelosi pushes impeachm ent in the last days of the Trump presidency it will do more harm than good.I’m hopeful President-elect Biden sees the damage that would be done from such action.
Given the pressing issues Congress will likely vote on over the next three days, House Democrats will hold their United for A Better Tomorrow Issues Conference at the U.S. Capitol.
Tens of thousands of contributions.

People across the country are excited and ready for
@AdamSchiff
in the Senate.
We're taking the fight to the states -- and we're backed up by new leaders & voices on climate change that reflect our country's diversity and this movement's values.
And they're fighters -- and are coming for anyone who is content with the status quo.
Climate disasters that cost lives and destroy property. Pollution that wreaks havoc on low-income and communities of color. Job losses from
@realDonaldTrump
's war on renewable energy.
Climate change may look different in every state, but it's causing harm across the country.
Yes, please tell me more about how the 1st member of leadership to endorse Medicare for All, who advocated for universal hcare during ACA, who has a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood & who was arrested during Obama era for protesting backward immigration laws is conservative.
It is with the heaviest of hearts to report that our last day of service will be Sunday, 9/20. It’s been a great 26-year run, and we’re most proud of the way our management and staff have handled incredible adversity over the last 6 months.
Thanks to all for the love & support.
This is how you change the politics of climate. Focus on health care, jobs, and reach people where they are.
@ellisonreport
, thanks for having me on to discuss
@ClimatePower
and the climate movement we're building.
"candidates that are proactive on climate are not only appealing more to younger voters, but, also Republican women to vote for them: healthcare is a big issue, for ex: astha rates from pollution"
