Photo exhibition on Hiroshima, Nagasaki atomic bombs

The event, titled “From devastation to revitalization: Hiroshima Nagasaki atomic bomb exhibition” is co-organized by the USSH and the Nagasaki national peace memorial hall for the atomic bomb victims.

According to USSH’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh, the exhibition will display 36 photo panels on the devastation of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as those of the revitalization of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including some photo panels symbolizing the everlasting life of the cities such as the St. Mary’s Cathedral (Urakami Cathedral), camphor trees before and after the atomic bombings.

This is the first such exhibition in Vietnam, but atomic-bombing-related exhibitions have been held by the Nagasaki national peace memorial hall for the atomic bomb victims in many foreign countries over the past 12 years. In Southeast Asia alone, Malaysia was the first destination.

Through the exhibition, the organizers hope to convey the most vivid images of the devastation of atomic bombings 72 years ago to people both in Japan and abroad, to remind future generations to learn from history and to build a peaceful world free from nuclear weapons.

On this occasion, a talk show with a male survivor (83 years old) of the bombing of Nagasaki was held after the opening ceremony./.
