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

Join ICAN, Peace Boat, UNITAR and Hiroshima/Nagasaki partners for live streams on the morning of August 6 and August 9, the days the atomic bombs were dropped on the cities in 1945. 

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 from the moments of silence on the 79th anniversaries in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, speak with Hibakusha on that very morning from several venues that commemorate the consequences of the atomic bombings. This year, they will introduce how younger generations try to learn and take over the legacy of survivors.
