Nagasaki remembered after 61 years
Asahi Shimbun wrote again an article that totally stopped me. Writer Kyoko Hayashi is one of those who survived the bomb. The article shares insights of International Peace Symposium through words of Hayashi. When she visited the New Mexico atomic bomb test area she finally shed tears as she stood in ground zero.

Asahi Shimbun impressed me again with their very human way of bringing out important topics.Read the story here: Still hoping for peace 61 years...
