In June 2016, a street in Netanya was named for Japanese diplomat [[Chiune Sugihara]], who was responsible for saving Lithuanian Jews from Nazi persecution early in World War II by providing visas allowing travel eastwards, beyond the reach of the Third Reich's genocidal grasp.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/06/08/national/history/israel-names-street-after-diplomat-sugihara-wwii-issuer-of-visas-for-life-to-jews/#.V1f6Xr5QaNg |title=Israel names street after diplomat Sugihara, who issued 'visas for life' to Jews during WWII |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=June 8, 2016 |website=japantimes.co.jp |publisher=The Japan Times |access-date=June 8, 2016 |quote=A ceremony on a planned street named after the late Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara was held in Netanya, Israel, on Tuesday. Sugihara issued transit visas to thousands of Jewish people during World War II, which later came to be known as “visas for life,” as they saved many from Nazi persecution. Netanya is known as a place where many Jewish people arrived after fleeing from oppression thanks to visas issued by Sugihara. The plan to build the street marks 30 years since Sugihara’s death. “It’s such an honor. I wish my father was here,” said Sugihara’s fourth son, Nobuki, 67. |archive-date=June 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160608042525/http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/06/08/national/history/israel-names-street-after-diplomat-sugihara-wwii-issuer-of-visas-for-life-to-jews/#.V1f6Xr5QaNg |url-status=live}}</ref>
