A-Bomb Survivor Testimony

Born in 1931, Ms Kiyomi Kono was 14 years old at the time of the bombing and living on the outskirts of Hiroshima. The next day, she entered the city with her mother to look for her two elder sisters.

In 2002, she painted pictures to depict scenes she witnessed and published a picture book. In 2003, she began sharing her experience in schools. Join us for an online event to hear directly from Ms Kiyomi’s as she recounts her experiences of the bombing and its aftermath.

This event is delivered in partnership with the Japan Foundation and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
