AW: Chiune Sugihara

[Roland Domenig]

I don't know about the anime project, but there is a documentary, a feature film, a TV-drama, a musical and an opera about Sugihara, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is an anime in the making, too.
If someone is interested in the opera-project of composer Ichiyanagi Toshi (who also has been an important composer of film scores, amongst others for films by Yoshida Kiju, Teshigahara Hiroshi, Kuroki Kazuo and Adachi Masao) and happens to be in Vienna next Monday, there will be a talk about the opera by the Isreali musicologist Ury Eppstein from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Betreff: Chiune Sugihara

Hi all,

Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat, based in Lithuania, who took considerable personal risks to assist Jewish refugees in escaping by issuing transit visas to Japan. I was glancing at his Wikipedia entry and noticed a comment that an anime based on his story was at some point in the pipeline, originally intended to be released last year in the context of the establishment of Israel. I haven't been able to find confirmation of whether this film was made and released. Does anyone know anything about it?
