JAPAN - ANNIVERSARY OF ATOMIC BOMB ATTACKS
COMMEMORATED BY YOUNG NAGASAKI PEACE MESSENGERS

World YWCA - 24/08/2012

On August 20, 2012, the Nagasaki Peace Messengers, a group including Japanese High School students, Brazilian young Messengers of Peace, survivors of the Japanese 2011 Tsunami and descendants of “hibakusha”, victims of the atomic bomb, visited the World YWCA in Geneva.  The Nagasaki Peace Messengers have been making this journey to the World YWCA for the last thirteen years as every year they are invited to speak in Geneva at the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, to relate the tragedy that occurred in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945 and the ongoing harmful effects of the atomic bomb.

JAPAN - PHOTOS OF WOMAN BURNED BY RADIATION &

POWERFUL HEAT RAYS FROM ATOMIC BOMB ATTACKS

There are records indicating that this photo was taken in October 1945, and the patient was 17 years old then. Although the portion covered by the shoulder strap of a bag was left unburned, traces of burns on the patient's back can be seen since the patient had light clothes on at that time.
