COMING SOON
The Atomic Museum is proud to be partnering with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum for this 5th Annual atomic bomb survivor testimonial.
Joining us from Japan via Zoom is Teruko Yahata.
Teruko Yahata was only 8 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6th, 1945. At the time, she was on her way to the house next door, which was 2.5 km away from the hypocenter.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was opened in August 1955 to inform people of all nations of the actual damage caused by the atomic bomb, and to contribute to the abolition of nuclear weapons, as well as the realization of lasting world peace.
