At the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, the testimonies of atomic bomb survivors living in Japan (in prefectures other than Hiroshima) and overseas are made as recordings.
This year, the testimonies of atomic bomb survivors living in Chiba Prefecture (6 people), Saitama Prefecture (5 people), Tokyo (6 people), Kanagawa Prefecture (13 people) and Nara Prefecture (1 person), as well as Korea (1 person) and America (2 people) were recorded.
In the testimonies, the survivors spoke about the situation at the time of the bombing, when they moved to other prefectures or overseas, and their life since that time. The films recorded will be edited and then screened in the library (B1) from April of this year.
We will continue to record as many of such precious atomic bombing testimonials from within and outside Japan as possible, for communication to future generations. In addition to these testimonial films, visitors can also read the testimonials and other related books. Please visit and experience the feelings and words of the survivors for yourself.
