The nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki burned the victims to unrecognizable forms, and brought suffering from illness, poverty and discrimination unto the survivors. Nuclear weapons and humanity cannot coexist.
We want people around the world to know about the consequences of nuclear weapons, and the journey of the Hibakusha - the atomic bomb survivors. As Hibakusha of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we have held exhibitions at the United Nations four times to date, at the timing of the NPT Review Conferences. As the risk of the use of nuclear weapons is today at its highest, we have decided to open this exhibition as an online museum.
About exhibition
Three Quarters of A Century After Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The Hibakusha – Brave Survivors Working for a Nuclear-Free World
Since those days in August 1945, we Hibakusha have been working to achieve a world without nuclear weapons and without war. Despite our suffering from the aftereffects of the atomic bombing, striving toward this goal has allowed us to find reason to live. We have great hope in recent new steps toward the prohibition of nuclear weapons. We wish to drive this international trend even further, by seizing any opportunity to encourage people to believe that nuclear weapons really can, one day, be eliminated from every nation. We strongly hope that visitors to this online museum share the wish of the Hibakusha, based on our own experience, that “no one on this earth should ever again suffer the agony we have.”
