A-bomb victims living in Tokyo Visiting Hiroshima with the new corona Giving up and praying at home 11:33 on August 6
The 6th of "Atomic Bomb Day" 75 years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Due to the effects of the new coronavirus, I was able to see the survivors who gave up praying at their home in Tokyo and gave up visiting Hiroshima.
Jiro Hama (74), a native of Hiroshima who lives in Inagi, Tokyo, was a womb survivor who was bombed in his mother's stomach, and his father, Masao (49 at the time), died about 500 meters from the hypocenter. It was.
Every year on August 6th, we attended the Peace Memorial Ceremony held at the Peace Park in Hiroshima City, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the number of seats of participants decreased to less than 10% of the usual year. Considering what was done and the risk of infection, Mr. Hamazumi gave up moving from Tokyo to Hiroshima.
On the 6th, I watched the TV broadcast of the ceremony at my home in Tokyo and stood up and offered silence at 8:15 am after the atomic bombing.
Mr. Hamazumi said, "I'm sorry that I couldn't go to Hiroshima, but I think it conveyed my feelings for my father to sleep peacefully. The children made a vow to peace and said clearly that nuclear weapons are not needed in the future. I was encouraged by this and renewed my determination to eliminate nuclear weapons as soon as possible even in the days of Corona."
