Refugees Saved by a Japanese Identified-- Part 2: Tracked Down

As the ship's escort and clerk, Tatsuo Osako distributed money provided by Jewish agencies.  To thank him for his kindness, a man and six women he helped between 1940-1941 gave him portraits of themselves.

Descendants of the three refugees who had children were tracked down,  Some of the descendants met this month in the New York area with the late Osako's former colleague, Akira Kitade who wrote a book about Osako and the seven photographs.

Also, four of the people in the photos have been identified.
