Nobel Peace Prize laureate has called on the young generations to pass down the experiences of atomic-bomb survivors

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nihon Hidankyo has called on the young generations to pass down the experiences of atomic-bomb survivors. The Japan Confederation of A- and H- Bomb Sufferers Organizations represents the survivors of the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

They are known as hibakusha. During the press conference on nuclear disarmament at Tokyo’s Sophia University on Sunday, the Nobel Committee stated that “the voices of hibakusha have been instrumental in turning memory, turning pain and suffering into a force for change into a force for peace.”
