Survivors of Hiroshima's Atomic Bomb Preserve Memory

Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors, known as hibakusha, are dedicated to keeping the memory of the tragedy alive. Through powerful testimonies and daily talks at the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Museum, survivors and their successors share their stories to ensure that the world does not forget. Inspired by the survivors, a program was launched where candidates learn to present the stories of hibakusha to younger generations. With the average age of survivors now 85, there is an urgent need to train more successors to pass on this heritage. While Hiroshima continues to fight for peace and nuclear disarmament, survivors and successors are spreading the word through face-to-face encounters, expressing their passion and emotion to create dialogue and interaction.
