The display includes about 160 panels presenting photos, articles, and series conveying the A-bomb damage, relief for survivors, the anti-A- and H-bomb movement, and the plight of radiation-exposed hibakusha around the world. The evening edition of the Chugoku Shimbun for August 6, the 57th since the bombing, was displayed on computers in the venue. Special programs of the past by Chugoku Broadcasting Company and other visual images were also employed to convey the message of peace.

Yuko Nakamura (70, Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture) was exposed to the A-bomb in Hiroshima. She commented, "With memories of the A-bomb experience fading, this daily news coverage is quite valuable." Hiroyuki Suzuka (12), a sixth-grade student in Yokohama City said, "The victims suffered. I'm going to make this my independent study for the summer."

This exhibition, a project commemorating 110 years since the founding of our newspaper, is cosponsored by the museum. At the opening ceremony, Wataru Imanaka, president of the Chugoku Shimbun Company, said, "We want young people to understand the gravity of the history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that has prevented the use of nuclear weapons for 57 years." Until September 8. Closed Mondays.
