Hiroshima has also coincided with 80 years since the American atomic bombing, the survivor says, “Nuclear and human weapons cannot coexist.”

When looking at the Hiroshima horizon, the 96 -year -old Junji Sarashina indicates to his childhood places.

“That was my primary school. It is not very far from here,” he told his granddaughter, and shows her all over the region.

Sarashina was 16 years old and worked in an anti -aircraft ammunition factory when the United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

“When the bomb fell, I couldn’t see anything,” said Sarashina.

A concrete wall saved Sarashina, but when he got out of the rubble after the explosion, a terrible scene waited for him.

“When I saw 1000, 2000 people move quietly. All the wounded, burned, no clothes, no hair – just move in an attempt to escape from the fire,” he recalls.

He made his way to the Red Cross station and started helping.

“I tried to give a sip of water to the first child, but he went,” said Sarashina.

About 140,000 people died in Hiroshima. Three days later, the United States brought down a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, killing 70,000 people. Japan surrendered shortly, and put an end to the Second World War.

Now, in the hills outside Hiroshima, where rice and black steps grow, a man who spent decades of his life live in his campaign against nuclear weapons.

Toshiyuki Mimaki was 3 years old when the bomb exploded, and he still remembers the smell of death. He spent his life in his campaign against nuclear weapons.

Last year, his organization, Nihon Hydidk U, which means the survivors of atomic bombings, He won the Nobel Peace Prize. But Mimaki fears that with more than 12,000 nuclear weapons in the world today, the group’s activity is more important than ever.

“I want people around the world to know that nuclear and human weapons cannot coexist,” Memaki says.

This message was repeated in the peace park in Hiroshima to celebrate the 80 -year -old brand, which was attended by Sarashina and Mimaki.

In his speech, the Japanese Prime Minister said that as the only country that faced the horror of nuclear destruction in the war, the mission of Japan is to create a world without nuclear weapons.

There was deep concern that the stories of less than 100,000 the remaining elderly of the bombings, known as Hibakusha, would fade with their death. But there is hope that the younger generation will guarantee that the world is never forgotten.

“From now on, I want to do my role to share their stories with others who do not know,” says 15 -year -old Talib Menami Sato.
