website for japanese a-bomb survivors

[Norman Cohen <ncohen12@comcast.net>]

Hi all,

I've read some of the discussion about Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the

list. For the last 6 years, the Coalition for Peace and Justice (the

other 'hat' I wear) has sponsored visits from Hibakusha to our area in

early August. Below is the website for the Hibakusha. You may find it

interesting:

The Coalition does not take a position on whether Truman's decision to

a-bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki was "correct" or not. My dad fought in

WWII in many areas including China, and so I know he is personally glad

that the bomb was dropped.



One can "Monday morning quarterback" the decision and come up with

reasons why dropping the bomb was the right thing to do or not. We

prefer to focus on the devastating effects of what were small a-bombs,

in the hope that a nuclear weapon would never be used again by any

country.



Peace

Norm
