Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Survivor's Stories - Alternative Views

070. NAGASAKI: A SURVIVOR'S STORY

This powerful program recounts the horrors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing through slides and an interview with a man who was less than a mile from the hypocenter of the atomic bomb blast in Nagasaki. in addition to his experiences, we present comprehensive pictorial and narrative documentation, first, on the incendiary raids on Japan which preceded the atomic explosions, and then on to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki raids themselves.

258. HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI: WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCED Three short works are shown which reveal in powerful and touching reality what it was like to endure the atomic bombings in Japan. First is a 22 minute documentary, Hiroshima-Nagasaki," which contains movie footage in the cities after the bombs exploded. The documentary is so explicit and powerful that it was suppressed by the U.S. government for many years. Next is a short work containing the drawings of children and adults depicting what they saw and experienced.

Editorial note - 258 does contain a talk by Daniel Ellsberg - we choose not to include this as he is a war criminal and limited hangout asset. If you so desire to hear the last portion, the video file can be found on archive.org
