The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation invites you to join this special talk. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the horrific atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In August 1945, the US detonated two atomic bombs in Japan, with devastating consequences for local populations. These bombings shaped the fate of humanity over the rest of the 20th century. Today, only a few survivors remain who can share their experiences of these events. The question of how to pass on their memories to future generations is becoming ever more relevant.
