Ambassador Tadeusz Romer – Diplomat and Humanitarian in Japan (1937-1941)

Helping Poles and Polish Jews in Japan and Shanghai, who were trying to escape the German and Soviet oppression, was one of the most important elements of ambassador Tadeusz Romer’s daily work, which he was carrying out with such diligence, as a diplomat and humanitarian. It is possible that without his devotion and help, many Polish refugees, who received visas from Sugihara Chiune and annotations from Jan Zwartendijk, would have still been imprisoned or could have even died.
