The remarkable story of how a consul and his allies helped save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in one of the greatest rescue operations of the twentieth century.

In May 1940, Jan Zwartendijk, the director of the Lithuanian branch of the Philips electrical-goods company, stepped into history when he accepted the honorary role of Dutch consul.

In Kaunas, the capital of Lithuania, desperate Jewish refugees faced annihilation in the Holocaust. That was when Zwartendijk - with the help of Chiune Sugihara, the consul for Japan, and the Dutch ambassador in Riga, Latvia - chose to break his country's diplomatic rules. He opened up a possible route to freedom through the ruse of issuing visas to the Dutch colony of Cura ao on the other side of the world. Thanks to these visas, and Sugihara's approval of onward passage, many Jews - up to 10,000 - were able to travel on the Trans-Siberian Express all through Soviet Russia to Vladivostok, further to Japan, and onwards to China.

Most of the Jews whom Zwartendijk helped escape survived the war, and they and their descendants settled in America, Canada, Australia, and other countries. Zwartendijk and Sugihara were true heroes, and yet they were both shunned by their own countries after the war, and their courageous, unstinting actions have remained relatively unknown.

In The Just, renowned Dutch author Jan Brokken wrests this heroic story from oblivion and traces the journeys of a number of the rescued Jews. This epic narrative shows how, even in life-threatening circumstances, some people make the right choice at the right time. It is a lesson in character and courage

C.G. Delivers Once Again -- Would Expect Nothing Less !!!
LOVE CHEM GUYS. these little wipes are awesome for quick cleaning. and to leave in the trunk of the car for UBER Driving. i love the VRP Hydro Spray - but you still need a rag to wipe it around. this solves that problem. just need 2 to clean the whole car !! and i have weather.tech floor mats front and back. these VPR Wipes make them look brand new in 5sec flat. and makes the black plastic car trim look sexy AF. NGL. but i dont like it on the leather seats. its a little too slippery for me. i like the OG Leather Conditioner for that. the cleaning wipes are really good too. can use them for any/every thing. one square will die out kinda quick, but it you use 2, it lasts a long azz time. (Clean Wipes AND VRP Wipes)

Alright
The interior cleaner are a little too dry for my liking- it feels like I need to use multiple wipes for the same area. I like the VPR for the plastics around the car (looks a little greasy), but I don’t think $20 is worth only 30 wipes each. I would rather buy the spray. Maybe I’m not using the wipes correctly but “shines like new” didn’t happened on the doors.
