About Hidankyo
From Monthly Paper Hidankyo - April 1999
"Hibakusha have still suffered by the A-bombing", primary school children said.
"I felt atomic bomb was extremely horrible because it took tens of thousands of human lives as well as burned animals and plants for a moment…"
"It was an unimaginable actuality that people couldn't be allowed to live as humans…"
"I didn't know that many Hibakusha have still suffered by the atomic bombing even after 50 years passed…"
The staff of Hidankyo received letters from 46 children who are in their sixth grade at primary school in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. They learned peace in the social studies class by means of a picture-story "Message from Hibakusha" produced by Hidankyo. After learning what actually happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all the children wrote the letters "as the first action for peace".
The staff members were impressed with the letters and made up their minds to work on harder in order to make the real feature of A-bombing widely.
