Henryk Schagrin received transit visa no. 213 at the Japanese consulate in Kaunas on 30 July 1940. The register records soap maker, aged 37.
Reached Japan; reached Shanghai.
The register recorded visa holders. It did not reliably record the wives and children who travelled on somebody else’s visa, so these people have no entry of their own and cannot be searched for. Where the archive has recovered a name, it is here.
This is a Polish citizenship/identity certificate (Zaświadczenie/Certificat) issued by the Legation of the Polish Republic in Kaunas to Henryk Schagrun, born 1902 in Nowy-Sacz, and Rachel Schagrun, born 1903 in Rzeszów. The document is dated 26 July 1940 and bears the number 143 147/40, with associated Sugihara transit visa documentation showing the escape route through Japan.
This document combines a Curacao (Netherlands) endorsement issued by the Dutch consulate in Kaunas on 22 July 1940, declaring that no visa is required for admission to Surinam, Curacao and other Netherlands colonies, with a Japanese transit visa. The Japanese consul in Kaunas (Chiune Sugihara) granted the transit visa on 30 July 1940 for the journey to Surinam, Curacao and other Netherlands colonies through Japan.
