Ninety-six-year-old Junji Sarashina, a Hiroshima atomic bombing survivor, recounts his harrowing experience, witnessing widespread devastation and death. Toshiyuki Mimaki, another survivor, whose organization won the Nobel Peace Prize, emphasizes the incompatibility of nuclear weapons and humanity. With fewer than 100,000 hibakusha (survivors) remaining, concerns grow about fading memories, but younger generations like 15-year-old Minami Sato pledge to keep their stories alive. Japan's Prime Minister reiterated the nation's commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons at the 80th anniversary commemoration.
