Hiroshima and Nagasaki will mark the 80th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb this August. Among the hundreds of thousands who died in the bombings were over 38,000 children. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) has created an online Children's Peace Memorial, which brings to life the stories of more than 400 of the children who died in the hours, days, weeks and years after the bombings. ICAN hopes that connecting us with their stories will remind us all of the horrors that nuclear weapons can wreak.
Guest: Tim Wright, Treaty Coordinator at ICAN, and the initiator of the Children’s Peace Memorial (childrenspeacememorial.org)
