Last year, this Foundation held once again Atomic Bombing Testimonial Talks, where people visiting Peace Memorial Park could hear atomic bomb testimonials without having to apply in advance.
The talks were held a total of 16 times (of which 4 times were in English) for seven days from August 4-6, 13, 14, and October 5 and 6. An animation about the atomic bombing was also shown.
In total, there were 1,343 visitors during the period from within and outside Hiroshima Prefecture, ranging from small children to those from generations who had experienced war, and all listened intently to the talks. Some of the comments provided on the questionnaire included "This must never happen again," "This taught me the importance of peace and life," and "I want to communicate this to children."
