Hibakusha Stories of Hiroshima & Nagaskai (ENG)

May 11, 2016 in Atomic Bomb Survivors

The White House announced on May 10 Tuesday that President Obama would visit Hiroshima for the first time as U.S. President since 1945.

I visited Hiroshima and Nagaskai last year to meet and listened to the survivors of Atomic bombs. Hiroshi Hosokawa of Hiroshima, who was 17 years old in 1945 told me "I think the Atomic bombs were not only dropped onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but mankind. ....Everything that had existed here disappeared on August 6, 1945. As long as I live, I will continue to have my voice alive."

I hope we can start a dialogue for future...
