One page, two signatures, a life saved

The travel document of Majer Klejn (list No. 453). Both Kaunas endorsements sit side by side in colour: Jan Zwartendijk's Curaçao declaration and signature on the left, and Chiune Sugihara's Japanese transit visa — with the imperial consulate seal, his brushed signature and vermilion hanko — on the right, stamped again in red on landing at the port of Tsuruga.
