Online-Gespräch mit einer Zeitzeugin der Atombombe

In the organizer's words:

With Teruko Yahata (contemporary witness) and Yōko Itami (interpreter) on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at 10 a.m. in the Museum Fünf Kontinente

Teruko Yahata was eight years old when she witnessed the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima in her backyard. Her family home was 2.5 kilometers away from the hypocenter.

Even eighty years after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, dealing with this unimaginable catastrophe and passing on the memories of its immediate destructive power and its long-term consequences are essential for peace work. Conversations with hibakusha - the survivors of the atomic bombing of Japan - offer a special opportunity to experience the memories of those affected first-hand and to preserve them for future generations.

The talk will be held in Japanese with German translation.

Lecture program for the special exhibition From Inferno to Symbol of Peace. 80 Years of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in cooperation with the Japan Center of the LMU Munich

Further events in the program accompanying the special exhibition can be found in the program overview.
