Mir Yeshiva's Holocaust experience: ultra-orthodox perspectives on Japanese wartime attitude towards Jewish refugees

Mir Yeshiva was the only Lithuanian yeshiva to survive the war in its entirety. Recent studies have emphasized the role of the rescuers - particularly the Japanese consul Sugihara Chiune who issued visas to the Jews. The Mir testimonies shed new light on the experiences of the Jewish refugees in Lithuania (1936-1940) and East Asia (1941-1945)
