Diplomat with a cause

Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat who defied the orders of his superiors and issued thousands of visas to Polish Jews to save them from the Nazis. After the war, he was dismissed from the Japanese foreign service for disobeying orders. His story went untold for years until a survivor sought him out to thank him in the 1960s.
Showings of the Sugihara documentary "Inochi No Visa (Visas for Life)" are at 1 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays in the first-floor Gallery Theater. Cost is $3 for residents and $5 for nonresidents. Information: 945-7633.
