Read the excerpt from “Sugihara.” A woman, looking through one of those large windows, watches the crowd. She is YUKIKO SUGIHARA, 35, the wife of the Japanese vice consul. She wears a stylish Japanese dress.

Her attention is drawn to three small children in the crowd, two boys and a girl, who stare up at her, expressionless. The girl clutches a doll; a tear trickles down her face. Yukiko turns from the window and looks at her own three children, two boys and a girl, playing quietly on a rug. Her daughter holds a similar doll.

Yukiko's face is grim. She leaves the room, walks determinedly down a corridor to a door marked "Office of the Vice Consul." She knocks on the door.
