Looking over the horizon of Hiroshima, 96-year-old Junji Sarashina extracts places since his childhood.
“That’s been my level. From here it wasn’t very far,” he said, showing his grandchildren around.
Sarashina was 16 years old and the United States worked at the Andiircraft Factory in Hiroshima in Hiroshima in Hiroshima, 1945.
“When the bomb fell, I couldn’t see anything,” says Sarashina.
A concrete wall saved Sarashina, but when he came out of the waste, an apocalyptic scene was waiting.
“This is 1,000 people, when I moved 2,000 quiet people. Wounded, roast, no clothes, no hair,” he remembered.
He made the road the Red Cross and began to help.
“I tried to give a water turkey to the first child, but it disappeared,” Sarashina says.
About 140,000 people died in Hiroshima. Three days later, the US left the second atomic bomb above Nagasaki, killing 70,000 people. Japan surrendered shortly afterwards, bringing the end of World War II.
Now, when the hills of the external hills, rice and buckwheat grow, lives a man against the nuclear weapons in decades of his life.
Toshiyuki Mimaki was 3 years when the bomb exploded, and still remembers the rumor of death. His life has been campaign against nuclear weapons.
Last year, his organization, Nihon Hidank-Yo, who survived atomic bombings, He won the Nobel Peace Prize. But Mimaki is afraid of more than 12,000 nuclear weapons in the world, the team’s activism is more critical than ever.
“I want people around the world to know that nuclear weapons and humanity cannot be coexisted,” says Mimaki.
This message was repeated in the Hiroshima peace Park, Sarashina and Mimaki attended to celebrate the 80-year-old brand.
At his address, the prime minister of Japan said the only country was panic panic in the war, Japanese mission is to bring a world without nuclear weapons.
A profound concern has been the stories of survivors of 100,000 oldest bomber, known as Hibakusha, will disappear. But it is expected that the world’s younger generation will never forget the world.
“From now on, I want to share my part to share with others who don’t know,” 15-year-old student Minami Sato says.
