9:32 am
and suddenly he heard something and he started the mushroom cloud rising he knew something terrible happened so he came back. my mother was doing the dishes after breath first and she too was buried under the collapsed building she has to be up and she was helped and i was able to escape to the outside of the city and how they came together i don't know but they told me my married sister and the four year old child. who had been evacuated. moved out of the city of hiroshima in order to protect themselves from air raid but they team home the night before
9:33 am

9:35 am
them and their the one who simply their eyes. or just from my school three hundred twenty one girls simply disappeared serco what where days months after the bombing like how did you survive in that burnt out set it didn't even know what had happened i mean it was the first time that something like that ever took place well i thought americans found it finally caught out because they had been air raiding most of the city especially since. march the first one hundred forty of five so we hear osama people in the city were beginning to feel very anxious the hiroshima was supposed to be about tenth
9:36 am
largest city in japan that that time but even smaller city had been bombed you know most of the cities have been bombed how come we haven't been up top every day in the every night between nine fly around but they haven't dropped any bomb little did we know that the americans had already selected the heroes suma as a target for the new type of bombs which the already had their american government's position has been that bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki where we needed to save american soldiers' lives from being lost in a potential war on the ground how do you feel when you hear that there's this exploration sound logical tear that america minute just
9:37 am
a myth because japan had being exhausted by that time japan was finished by the time i can verify that we will practically starving at home and the soldiers at this pacific or any other battlefield they didn't have food they didn't have munitions and we were finished the war ended and the japanese were considering. our end up. there are many historical evidence that the use of nuclear weapons was not necessary and most of historian acknowledge that. i rad that you sat somewhere that us occupation forces brought you a sense of relief and liberation from the oppression of japan's militaristic
9:38 am
government but i mean those were the people who like you were describing so vividly brought total destruction to your sit is killed hundreds of thousands of people i mean eight people from your immediate family died. do not connect the u.s. soldiers with the atom bomb was there any hatred a new two words to americans or you were grateful they have brought the end of the war with them adult time i would say most of the people in hiroshima who experienced the atomic bombing we were in numbed the condition the all the experiences all the stimuli saw must've the new growth test and. that our psyche would not accept that and that meant the seizure of emotion we were not despondent to all
9:39 am
the horrible scenes in sight if we despondent normally we would not have survived. so that this i think people's emotional in this bones to many things of which you are happening around us at the same woods not out south and the normal and us paul fall you would expect you'd so you'll. remember this very point we have to take a short break right now. just a short break ok and while we're back we'll continue talking was a star low here a shame a bombing survivor nuclear disarmament campaign are discussing the nuclear danger today stay with.
9:40 am
9:41 am
all of a sudden a man just. told me there. i said i when entering it in the name of the law and. you know should we. not all along a million million indeed on the left i'm not picking on you need to be indicted beachhead me to don't buy new zealand on my own i got i got medical took a long time in the economy i used. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past
9:42 am
each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. where back was at circa thurlow here were shame of bombing survivor a nuclear disarmament campaign or talking about those dark days and one thousand nine hundred forty five and what should be done to never latta tragedy like this happen again. i know that they us occupational forces also
9:43 am
impose their sort of oppression on the bombing survivors what was it like let me give you a couple of examples. united states established its decision called a.b.c. seat at the make bomb commission. and people very happy well finally we get some kind of medication some medical experts who know and what this is about would help japanese doctors who are at the loss but that's so purpose of a b c c wads to study the effect of radiation on hill mum bodies nothing else not to help the sick people but davidi ation
9:44 am
and. the survivors felt that they were being used as a guinea pigs twice first as a get secondly. subject search you can imagine the. occupation forces did not want the media newspapers. and to write anything which could be seen as disadvantages to the occupation forces and if the newspaper write something about the destruction and especially human suffering in another thirty that was a very that was considered to be disadvantages this have to stop so they
9:45 am
censored and they forced some newspaper companies to close the shop that's not the exact the democratic thing to do and this survivors. wrote that they had the correspondence and some people wrote the high cool you know japanese literary form when they have pain in their art they have to express that by writing haiku and so on they have the photographs for ailment is a medical information all the things were confiscated and thirty two thousand items in or there were or shipped back to the united states because the scientific. triumph of the united states by producing atomic bombs was ok in that war they can find out. but
9:46 am
what human suffering. caused in those cities that was not to be found out. that was the reason why so i want to talk a little about the american reaction to war happened. seventy three years ago now president obama was the first american president to come to hiroshima in twenty sixteen he delivered a very emotional speech very emotional but never sat sorry for america's decision to drop the bomb i know the american public went nuts over the suggestion that he could apologize when the pundits relentlessly mocking that idea so my question is and your opinion why is it so hard for americans
9:47 am
why why do americans are so uneasy about owning up to the hiroshima and nagasaki bombings. polls. today seventy three later. they must believe what they did was justifiable. to be justified. to end the war quickly and to america and. i think that mentality is still continues unfortunately. not thinking people i think many americans woke up it was such. a. sept the. united states took. many
9:48 am
americans sorry about that but as a state the other nation i guess they're too proud to apologize i know apology was a very contentious controversial issue. i feel if he offered it we should have accepted that we deserved the stepped up but he chose not to and he couldn't have i suppose because of the political community in the state especially during the presidential election time. but it's not totally. inappropriate if he did of the apology.
9:49 am
you know in the war everybody did a horrible thing warned against by the international law international humanitarian law germans the british the the us the japanese did to let me now know at that time that i own are cases when most cases nations do apologize jan germans made sure they lived their life out of world war two was one big apology british people college as many times as well. and remember both germany and japan were tried. tribunals yes then the japanese military leaders i think six or seven of them or hung. on what happened in your room book judgment so the losers would. the tried but the victors no matter what they have done
9:50 am
not to be tried it's a very unfair world or. understood that even as of yet now the manner is of hiroshima and nagasaki have been kept alive thanks to people like you and governments remember those lessons as well there has not been a central combat use of a nuclear bomb sends forty five now to me it seems that humanity has learned its lesson has seen enough to not ever use nukes again do you have less face and humanity than i do less yes no i do i do have faith in the yes they're going to find me if they don't have it now they will certainly have faith in humanity this humanity must continue to
9:51 am
live and this civilization must be preserved i think it's ridiculous some goofy people threatening each other and threatened by saying their bombs are bigger than others and we have more of them imagine such child this impulsive. statements are being exchanged by those anywhere it's hard to believe those things are still happening but i think people. really learning and more than anything i am great for thousands of. the millions of people around the world that came to realize we just leave it to the
9:52 am
government alone and n.g.o.s and one hundred twenty two nations signed at the united nations to adopt the the treaty to prohibit the nuclear weapon i have heard you in many other interests say over and over again that this anti and nuclear activism work you're doing this so that the deaths of your loved ones will now be in vain do you really have to make amends for what happened in forty five and it wasn't your fault you didn't drop the bomb. the blast is not your fault why do you feel that you are responsible in some way why do you burden yourself with that why i'm responsible for this look i experienced that littleness the massive death and destruction
9:53 am
anybody with a conscience moral sense you can just imagine silent about that or a something is wrong somebody did it somebody created such destruction and must serve this of humanity entire city just disappeared with one bomb but the. when we learn the words caused by human beings. then really have to stand up and stop that kind of behavior by the human being who is responsible united states with the responsible they have never said sorry about that unfortunately more importantly
9:54 am
to make sure something like that should never happen again to any human beings to us that is a higher priority we have to stop at our cost and this is why we have been speaking out about our pain painful past experience the past seventy decades believe me it's not easy each time i talk about it my i try to embrace but still i don't see it pains me but i keep doing it because there is no other way i can live this is my moral imperative. i guess that would be my answer to your saying to you so much for
9:55 am
