I have a special interest in WWII/atomic energy/Hiroshima/Nagasaki/the hibakusha, and whenever I read about it I think about how the trajectory of humankind was altered completely the second the first bomb was detonated. And it was altered in a way where we can never, ever go back to Before.

Preparing to teach I Live in Fear tomorrow by watching this 1956 documentary about the hibakusha (survivors of the bomb). I highly recommend it. It's beautiful and disturbing. Wish I could watch The World is Terrified: The Reality of the “Ashes of Death” (1957) too, but unfortunately I can't find it

The very first origami I ever made was of a crane. I remember being in elementary school, feeling both excitement and the weight of the past. Today, I can make one in my sleep. It is a part of my memory in more ways than one.
Someday soon, all of the hibakusha will be gone.

Thanks to Robert (Bo) Jacobs @bojacobs.bsky.social for the praises on my forthcoming book. I also highly recommend his book "Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha", which will make you rethink the whole concept of nuclear security.

I am glad there is this acknowledgement of others who were caught up in the atomic bombing in the Nagasaki museum. Also of course the huge number of Koreans and Chinese who died or became #hibakusha due to the colonial context at the time.

Really glad to see the hibakusha nuclear survivors get the nod from the Nobel Prize (though it seems sooo overdue at this point). In the mid-1990s I did a work on a book on their experience. So humbling and terrifying and inspiring all at once.

Série Hibakusha.
43 200 crânes humains. 90 x 120 cm.
Hibakusha a d’abord désigné toute victime de bombardements, et les survivants des bombes atomiques larguées sur le Japon en 1945. Devenus symboles, ils incarnent la lutte contre la guerre et l’arme nucléaire.

I visited Hiroshima in 1991. It was profoundly moving. That year, a member of my host family was Hibakusha and having that personal connection forever impacted my views on the world. I wish you the best, Murakami-san.

Studies have shown that there are a myriad of health problems that are higher in the children of survivors from the bombings. Then there’s hibakusha.
Elon fails to grasp the lesson learned- that nuclear weapons must never again be used.
Typical narcissist, not thinking abt the suffering of others.

We have not learnt our lesson on nuclear weapons.
Despite the horrific consequences, we still live in a world where nuclear warfare is a threat.
My motion below, which celebrates the awarding of the #NobelPrize to survivors of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombings.

At an event in Vancouver on July 21, she shared not only the horrors of Hiroshima/Nagasaki but the ongoing injustice hibakusha face—from stigma to social isolation.
With most survivors aging beyond 85, their voices are becoming rare—but their message couldn’t be more relevant.

Just watched “Atomic People” on PBS yesterday, which interviews several hibakusha. Their memories are sobering, and so so important.

6 August 1945. Eightieth anniversary of the first atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Many survivors, the hibakusha, became witnesses for peace. As they have grown older, global conflicts have intensified. To them, the risk of a nuclear escalation feels more real than ever.
