Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki
A memorial for all the victims of the nuclear age
Hiroshima Day marks the anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, August 6th and 9th, 1945. Those two bombs killed over 200,000 people. Each year we remember the victims with reflections, music, and a call to action. The tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not just Japan’s, it is the world’s. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all nations to prevent another nuclear disaster for the safety and well being of all our children. We urgently need to remind Oregonians and our lawmakers of the horrific consequences of nuclear weapons. We cannot let the memory of Hiroshima fade and allow our leaders to make this grave mistake again.
