Japan never acknowledges or mentions much or even at all about how many non-Japanese died in that horrific event even though they were living in Japan and paying taxes. Its stories like these thatreally stands out. May your memories live on!

Good on these people, and anyone else who, despite suffering tragedy, have taken it upon themselves to educate others in some way. Doesn't matter the nationality, but just the willingness to help.

I've been living in Japan since before the cataclism of 2011 and this is the first profile of a foreign teacher killed while teaching English in Japan, in the Tohoku region that I have read. I've seen passing references to such tragic cases but as far as I can recall, there were no names or details of the deceased provided. I look forward to reading more such articles, even ten years after the disaster.
