We are excited to announce that we will offer two live streams from Nagasaki for the moments of silence on the 79th anniversaries.

In August 1945, two atomic bombs indiscriminately killed tens of thousands of people, profoundly disrupting and altering the lives of the survivors. Every year, the Peace Memorial Ceremonies are held to remember the victims and ensure not to repeat the evil.

Peace Boat and local partners will share with you live the atmosphere of Nagasaki and feeling of the Hibakusha on that very morning from several venues that commemorate the consequences of the atomic bombings. This year, they will introduce how young generation try to learn and take over the legacy of survivors.

While wishing for a world without nuclear weapons, please join us for a minute of silence.
