65 Years On – Remembering the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb blasts


We went to the opening of the exhibition about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the People's History Museum. We heard about the day of the Nagasaki bomb from two survivors, both of whom had been children at the time. We saw terrible photographs that were particularly moving, including one of shards of melted glass in a poor man's back. The Lord Mayor of Manchester spoke, and we heard from Mr Tomihisa Taue, the Mayor of Nagasaki. It was a very moving exhibition.
