Abstract

In this issue of News and Reviews, we bring you moving personal stories about family relations and the devastations of war. He Defied the Tide of Time tells the story of Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who, while stationed in Kaunas, Lithuania, defied the orders of his superiors and issued transit visas for several thousand Jews trying to flee the Nazis during World War II. Memory of Forgotten War delves into the personal struggles of families torn apart by the Korean War as the country was divided in two. Planet of Snail explores the deep connections forged in a marriage in which husband and wife bring both the challenges and the unique perspectives of living with disabilities to their relationship. Although disparate in theme, these three works all explore the strength and beauty of the human spirit in the hardest of circumstances.
