Women’s voices from Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Testimonies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Women Speak Out for Peace
Documented by the Soka Gakkai Women’s Peace Committee, these videos feature hibakusha sharing their testimonies of what they experienced during and after the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The paintings and drawings presented during the testimonies were drawn from memory by the hibakusha, in an attempt to convey to future generations the truth of what they witnessed at the time of the bombing.
Original Japanese voices, with subtitles in Japanese, English, Spanish, French, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
