La historia de Kaunas

Walk Laisvės alėja, the avenue of freedom, from the white Church of St Michael to the old town and Kaunas Castle where the two rivers meet. See Čiurlionis at the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, laugh at the thousands of devils in the Devils' Museum, and visit the Sugihara House, the Japanese consulate of 1940. Look up at the modernist facades, from the Central Post Office to the villas of Žaliakalnis hill.

Visas for life

A Japanese consul in Kaunas saved thousands of Jews.

Leer la historiaCerrar

In the summer of 1940, Chiune Sugihara, Japan's consul in Kaunas, wrote transit visas by hand, day and night, against his government's orders, for Jewish refugees from Poland and Lithuania. He is said to have still been writing visas from the train window as he left. Thousands of people escaped through Japan. His consulate is now a small museum.
