极速六合彩开奖结果 will host Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor Keiko Ogura and anti-nuclear activist Tomoko Watanabe for a series of events examining the lasting impact the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have had on Japanese culture and society. Ogura and Watanabe will participate in multiple public events during their visit, and Watanabe will also spend time in the classroom with Assistant Professor of Politics Tom Le discussing Japanese peace identity and culture. Several events are also planned in the weeks leading up their visit.
Ogura is the official a-bomb storyteller for the city of Hiroshima and has spent decades traveling Japan and the world telling others about her experience and promoting nuclear nonproliferation. She was 8 years old when the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and she is one of the few survivors old enough at the time of explosion to remember the events clearly.
Watanabe is the founder of ANT (Asian Network of Trust)-Hiroshima, a global organization devoted to anti-proliferation, disaster relief and development work. She is a second-generation hibakusha (a-bomb survivor) born in Hiroshima eight years after the atomic bombing. As the daughter of a-bomb survivors, she was moved to help survivors suffering from similar situations all over the world and has been leading this work for more than 25 years.
