Japan killed 80,000 people in the initial blast after 80 years since 80 years since the US was demolished by American’s analysis on Hiroshima city during the last days of World War II.
On August 6, the memorial ceremony to be held in Hiroshima and three days later Nagasaki will attract thousands of people from all over the world. However, some will be left – known as “Hibakusha” – compared to last year.
A government report released in March confirmed that now 99.130 Hibakusha was Alaive – 7.695 below the age of 7.695 compulsorily takes on their number. The average age of the remaining people today is 86.13.
The first person’s accounts lose begging as the only warfare of nuclear weapons, museums, organizations and individuals are moving to keep their stories alive.
Spread awareness
One of the following Hiroshima “Heir” Shun is Sasaki, who helps express his hometown and then the terror of the attack. Since August 2021, a 12 -year -old man has been talking about several sites with foreign tourists that make Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park.
“When I was in the first grade at school, I was following the atomic bomb dome and I wondered why it was still what it was in bad shape,” Sasaki told DW, referring to one of the only structures standing after the bombings in 1945.
“I am searching on the internet and I went to the Peace Memorial Museum and learned about the bomb that was dropped here.”
A house tragedy
Sasaki’s interest in the tragedy history of her home was further increased when she came to know that her great grandmother had survived from August 6, 1945, but the attack later died of cancer.
“She was 12 years old when the bomb was dropped and was about 1.5 kilometers inside her house. [0.93 miles] From the hypochetter, “Hey said.” She was not burnt because she was inside the house, but she was in contact with radiation and when she was simply evacuated, ‘Black Rain’ fur. ,
“Black Rain” was a mixture of dust, soot from the bomb fire, and radioactive results that come down from rain in the city for several hours after the explosion.
Sasaki’s great grandmother, Yuriko, signed breast cancer at the age of 38 and colon cancer when she was 60 years old before he died at the age of 69.
Sasaki was given English-Legues Learning Toys before her first birthday, what membership was to communicate in the language till the age of four and today he says that he likes to speak Japanese English. So it enables him to talk with foreign tourists who arrive in Hiroshima with some previous ideas of what happened in the city in 1945.
Sasaki tells them how the uranium bomb, the “Little Boy”, which exploded almost directly over the genbaku dome, a stone building, now known as a atomic bomb dome, has an equal energy equivalent to about 15 kg of TNT.
In fact, every building was destroyed and every person who was killed within a 1.3 km radius. As a result of severe irritation or radiation related diseases, the total death toll by the end of 1945 increased to about 140,000.
“Many people tell me that they came to Hiroshima thinking that they know the story and the city was only damaged,” Sasaki said. “But they say that Thiani did not know what the real happened.”
Tears and truth
“Some of them cry,” said. “Most of them are very surprised and they all tell me that we should never do this. I think war because people do not really know.”
“I was guiding an American person and said he now thinks that we should ban all nuclear weapons,” Sasaki remembered. “I am happy because if he leaves and tells someone the truth about Hiroshima and then they tell someone else, the message of peace will spread.”
Sasaki said, “We cannot change the facts about what has happened here, but we can use the truth about the bomb to change the future.”
Similar mannequins to pass on Hibakusha’s experience in Nagasaki, which was the target of the “Fat Man” plutonium bomb on August 9, 1945, finally discovers the original explosion as Ellie as an Elly as well as a long-term impact as leukemia and other radiation-revelt alels.
“When we are no longer with us, we are almost era when we are not with us,” said Takuji InoA, director of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. “However, as a nuclear-bombed city, we are deeply concerned about the risk of use of nuclear weapons, fuel from wars in Ukraine and Middle East and other disturbing events.”
International campaign
The museum launched a new international campaign to spread the “reality” and “an understanding of the influence of bombs during generations.”
“Hiroshima is carved as the first atomic bomb site in history forever,” said Heer. “However, what Nagasaki will last will depend on the future that we make.”
On August 6, at 8:15 am – the first bomb blast over Hiroshima – the city would come in a halt to pay its honor for the people. The speeches given in Shanti Park will commit children for peace. This year, that address is given by Shun Sasaki.
“I always wanted to speak in front of a large group of people, so I am very happy that I was chosen,” hey said. “I hope everyone who is interested, can come to Hiroshima and think about peace.”
