Testimony and Appeal of a Hibakusha: Masako Wada at the Online World Conference 2020

On the 75th anniversary year of the atomic bombings, I feel very honored and grateful for this opportunity to speak before you in this first Online World Conference against A and H Bombs. I am WADA Masako of Nihon Hidankyo. Nagasaki was devastated by the atomic bomb when I was 1 year and 10 months old, so I am one of the youngest Hibakusha. On that day, I was at my house located 2.9 kilometers away from the blast center. Thanks to the mountains surrounding the central part of Nagasaki City, which shielded my house from the direct impact of the bomb, I suffered no burns or injuries and have survived to this day.
