The Film Museum, the San Francisco Gabantown Museum has been reflected in 80 years since the first atomic bomb

Inside a small museum in Japantown in San Francisco, there is a strong message about atrocities of the atomic bomb.

“The Americans see a beautiful mushroom cloud, the Japanese who were on the ground see it as the land of scratch, destruction, and 70,000 people who lost their lives in a moment,” said Rosalin Tunai, director of the Japanese National Historic Association.

This summer, NJAHS revived an exhibition 30 years ago to remember the victims of atomic bombs Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the United States brought down in Japan on August 6 and 9, 1945.

The bombings in World War II ended, with the Japanese surrendering less than a week, on August 15.

The exhibition also includes one residue as a painful reminder, a doll that has been recovered from the rubble in Nagasaki.

“It was brought by an American family and informed us that she had kept her throughout these years. It has given her a family by a family that survived the atomic explosion.”

Survivors’ stories are what Tonai wants to test and understand people. The screen also features direct accounts from those who survived atomic explosions, including Jacques Deriki, who still lives in San Francisco.

Daiiki was a Japanese American child visiting a family in Hiroshima, who became stuck in Japan because of the war. On August 6, 1945, he was outside a factory on the outskirts of the city when the first bomb fell.

“We have seen three aircraft coming above us,” Deriki said, during an interview with Kpix with KPIX. “At that time, the bomb exploded, all the windows of the factory came out, flew over my head. I weighed 100 pounds and I was floating in the air.”

And now a new documentary entitled “Atoms Echoes” by movie makers Victoria Kelly and Karen Tanabi are shed more light on destruction.

“Tanabi said: “A few Americans understand what happened under the cloud of mushrooms.

Tanabi’s great uncle was part of the rebuilding effort in Hiroshima.

Kelly’s grandfather was an American doctor sent to Nagasaki, who witnessed the effects of peak radiation disease. He suffered from post -traumatic disorder and died at the age of 42.

Film makers conducted an interview with many other American paramedics who were sent to Japan 45 days after the bombings.

Kelly said: “They were really torn, they were really proud to serve them, and all of them said, as you know, we were there, and we could not happen these bombs again because it was the worst thing we saw at all.”

For Tonai, you think the topic is still relevant today and is still important to talk about it.

She said, “We are the doorstep nuclear accumulation, and this is an invitation to world peace.” “Therefore, we really need to stop, look at the human cost and the consequences of possible nuclear repercussions.

Her hope is that the date that occurred eight decades will never repeat itself.
