75 years since the end of the war, on the 15th, about 100,000 people were killed on the 15th, the facility that tells about the Tokyo air raids can not hold a meeting to directly talk about the experiences of the war that has been held every year due to the influence of the new coronavirus, The testimony recorded in was distributed on the Internet.
Every year at the “Tokyo Air Raid and War Damage Information Center” in Koto Ward, Tokyo, we held a meeting to talk directly about the experiences of the war on the day of the end of the war, but this year we could not hold it to prevent infection.
For this reason, pre-recorded images were distributed on the Internet, and children during the summer vacation listened to the testimony of Haruyo Nihei (84), who was attacked by air when he was eight years old.
Mr. Nihei said, "Many people screamed and became like a lump of fire, and were burnt to death." He said of the disaster at the time, "When I heard the ball sound broadcast, "There is no air raid anymore". I was delighted."
After this, a question and answer session using the chat function was conducted in real time, and in response to the elementary school student's question "I was not afraid of the war?", Mr. Nihei said, "I have no choice but to obey the country. I had to say I wasn't afraid."
Mr. Nihei said, "We shouldn't have started a war. It was nice to be able to send it this way rather than canceling it all."
On the 16th, videos introducing university students to the exhibition will be distributed.
