Six thousand lives saved by one man. To save one life is an amazing and wonderful thing, but six thousand-- that's a rare level of heroism. It's nice that he was recognized and honored before he died, but it's a shame that someone who contributed so much to Humanity went unrewarded in his lifetime. He is certainly a shining example of what one person can accomplish by, as you say, just not walking away. I also can't help but smile at the weird historical irony of saving Jews from Nazis by smuggling them into Japan. Life is truly stranger than fiction. :D Unbelievable.
