    A permit issued to Rys Berkowicz for "Stay in Japan."
    A permit issued to Rys Berkowicz for "Stay in Japan." Lacking final destination visas, most Polish Jewish refugees stayed in Japan much longer than their 10-day transit visas issued by Sugihara allowed. Many feared the day when Japanese authorities would no longer extend their stay with permits like this one.
