Witness to History
In partnership with the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, this upcoming Mo-Joe will feature Hiroshima survivor Ms. Keiko Ogura. At just 8 years old, Ms. Ogura was living 1.49 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the hypocenter when the atomic bomb was dropped on her city. From her home, she witnessed the devastation and the suffering of those fleeing the blast.
Now, 80 years later, Ms. Ogura will share her testimony and reflections, offering a rare and deeply personal perspective on one of the most consequential events in human history—an event that changed the course of the world and brought World War II to its end.
This Mo-Joe provides a powerful opportunity to hear a first-hand account of survival, resilience, and the urgent call for peace.
Hear from:
Keiko Ogura was exposed to the atomic bomb when she was 8 years old, a second grader in elementary school. At the moment of the explosion, she was near her house, 2.4 kilometers (1.49 miles) from the hypocenter. She witnessed the horrific sight of severely injured people evacuating from the center of Hiroshima, an experience that has shaped her lifelong commitment to sharing the truth of the atomic bombings.
