HiroshimaNagasaki Atomic Bomb Exhibition Opens at University of Stirling

The display brings survivor accounts to a Scottish campus to underscore a call for nuclear weapons never to be used again.

Overview

  • Opened on Oct. 6 in northern Scotland, the show is hosted by the National Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall and presents photographs of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath, including images of severe burn victims.
  • Memorial Hall director Hiroshi Nose, a second‑generation hibakusha, urged that Nagasaki remain the last city ever hit by an atomic bomb.
  • Japan’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Hiroshi Suzuki, said the photographs speak volumes and emphasized that nuclear weapons must never be used again.
  • Students and other visitors engaged with the exhibits with serious attention during the opening.
  • The event continues overseas outreach to preserve and share hibakusha testimony for younger and international audiences as survivor numbers decline.
