Author talks about 'Japanese Schindler'
An author talk by Ms Linda Royal will be held at 10:30am on Monday, November 18, in Woy Woy Library.
She will describe how her novel The Star on the Grave was inspired by the "Japanese Schindler" Chiune Sugihara.
In 1940, as the Nazis sweep toward Lithuania, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara defied his government and secretly issued visas to fleeing Jewish refugees.
After the war, Sugihara was dismissed and disappeared into obscurity.
Bookings may be made at the library or by phone on 4304 7555.
