Remembering the Jewish contribution to Japan\u2019s successful execution of the 1904 Russo-Japanese War, they decided to try to entice Jewish settlement into the Manchurian territory awarded them by the Portsmouth Conference. The Fugu is a blowfish that is a beloved delicacy of Japanese cuisine but which is deadly poisonous if not carefully prepared. Thus, the Japanese gave this name to their plan to help rescue as many Jews from Nazi Europe as possible with the aim of resettlement in their Manchurian and other territories to help administer them for Imperial Japan. Chiune Sugihara didn\u2019t realize that he was but a pawn, and even after the war, he was never informed of this top-secret project, possibly because his \u201chandlers\u201d were no longer in government. Through the efforts of Sugihara and those of some other Consuls of other nations, notably including The Netherlands, many thousands of Jews were saved, including the entire student body and rabbanim of the Mir Yeshiva<\/em>.\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Chiun\u00e9 Sugihara:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chiune_Sugihara\" >Chiune Sugihara &#8211; Wikipedia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/jsource\/Holocaust\/sugihara.html\" >Chiune Sugihara \u2013 Jewish Virtual Library<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/wlc\/en\/article.php?ModuleId=10005588\" >\u201c<em>But the most critical assistance came from unexpected sources: representatives of the Dutch government-in-exile and of Nazi Germany&#8217;s Axis ally, Japan.
