“Sinai Heritage Director Rabbi Yitschak Rudomin argued that the Axis powers were not entirely responsible for the deaths of the six million Jews during the World War II.

“Japan did not have a policy of genocide against the Jews,” said Rudomin. “When they took over Shanghai - a city where many Jewish refugees fled to - the Japanese continued to allow free passage to the city.”

“Also, Spain under Franco helped save more Jews than any other county during the war,” he added. “Anyone who could make it to Spain or one of its embassies survived. This is a fact.”

It could also be pointed out that the Japanese diplomat to Germany saved thousands of Jews by issuing them visas. And when the visa forms ran out he handwrote them on plain paper. He was also a Christian.
