Nobel Prize Helps Aging Hibakusha Pass Antinuclear Torch

Original: Nobel Prize Helps Aging Hibakusha Pass Antinuclear Torch: An Interview with Hamasumi Jirō of Nihon Hidankyō

Nihon Hidankyō, the Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors, won the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, and Hamasumi Jirō, a hibakusha who was in his mother's womb during the Hiroshima bombing, says the award is helping aging survivors pass their antinuclear message to younger generations. In an interview, he stressed that with survivors growing frail, the prize offers a crucial chance to keep their testimony alive and push for nuclear disarmament.

Why now: The Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Nihon Hidankyō has renewed global attention on the dwindling community of atomic bomb survivors and their disarmament campaign.
