どの国のどんな人にも見て知って貰いたい。 何処でどんな争いでも必ず誰かが犠牲となって、多くの不幸が生まれる事実を、 誰が良いとか悪いとか言い合うのではなく、絶対に戦争は不幸を生み出し、誰にも勝者を生まないと言う事実を、 此の不幸な歴史の事実を絶対に忘れてはならない。況してや放射能の起こす多大な被害と、途方もない苦しみは長く長く消えない事も、 一分の人間の名声とか権力とか間違った思想とかで、何百、何千万の人の命が無駄に奪われる事実も、そして何処のだれでもが同じ大切な命だと この事を忘れてしまったら其れは人間では無くなるのだと、にんげんとは本来人を敬い感謝出来る生き物だから

日本語で改めてコメントします。 広島で生まれて、広島で生活している一人の市民として、あなたに感謝を申し上げます。 この公園は、広島の市民にとって、どこにでもある普通の綺麗な公園です。 でも、この公園が何を意味して、何を後世に残すことになるのかを、全ての広島の市民は知っています。 広島の子供たちは、小学校に行く前から、親や周りの人から原子爆弾で広島がどうなったのかを教えられます。 また、全国から多くの子どもたちが資料館や公園を訪れて、惨劇の跡を学びます。 私たちは、戦争を憎みます。核爆弾を憎みます。 でも、アメリカの方を憎んではいません。 その行為を憎み、人を憎みません。 原子爆弾を投下したエノラゲイの乗員も、その後に放射能の影響で亡くなられたことを私たちは知っています。 彼らも被害者です。 もうこのような悲劇を、二度と繰り返してはいけません。 広島そして長崎を訪れて、その思いを共有する人が多くなれば、少なくともこのような惨劇はなくなると思います。 一人でも多くの方がお越しいただき、同じ思いになってくれることを祈念します。

残念ながら殆どのアメリカ人は、原子爆弾で何十万人もの民間人を街ごと吹き飛ばした行為を、平和の為の正義の行為だと思っています。 歴史を教える時に「当時の日本人は野蛮人だから大量にやっつけないと戦いを辞めないから、仕方がなく原子爆弾を落としたのだ」と教えるからです。 そして、日本を支配し、文化を塗り替え、日本人の誇りをへし折ってやったと声高々に後世に伝えるのです。 一部の人間が再生数の為に綺麗な事を言うかも知れませんが、そんな言葉に感傷的になる事を「平和を共に望んでいるのだ」と解釈するのは危険な錯覚だと思います。 確かに、人を憎む必要はありませんが、虐殺行為を美化する事は、平和の祈願とはかけ離れた行為です。

I lived in Hiroshima in 1982-3. I wondered when I arrived if being an American would be a problem. Not once did anyone treat us any way but kind. I was pretty young so WW2 seemed like ancient history. Now I look back on it from a 2024 perspective and it wasn’t as long ago as I had thought.40 years seemed like forever, but as nostalgia of us know, the years fly by. I always felt like walking around Hiroshima, especially the park was sacred ground.

@@XXXtraSize 理想論はそうだと思います。 でも、核を使ってはならないという当たり前のような認識は、戦前のアメリカにも勿論あったはずです。 破壊兵器を自ら作っておいて分からないわけがない。 分かっていながら、非戦闘民を何十万人も虐殺したのはなぜなのか。 ただ平和を語るのは、被害者の美談として聞き心地は良いかもしれませんが、加害者には届かない。 現にアメリカには、原爆は正しかったと思っている輩が少なからずいる。ではなぜそう思うのか？ 軍国主義の核実験のためか、植民地の歴史観からか、白人至上主義か、プロパガンダか？ 一つ覚えに戦争はダメだと唱えるだけじゃ、ウクライナ戦争も北朝鮮のミサイル攻撃も台湾有事の可能性もなくならないと思います。 もっとよく加害者を知ること、知って事前に防ぐことも理想論と同じくらい大事なはずです。

@@TalesFromOurPocketThe Japanese need to stop playing the victim. Japan was a member of the Axis powers along with Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy during World War II. Japan committed many atrocious war crimes in Asia and the Pacific, killing between 12 million and up to 20 million innocent Asians. Japan was just as brutal as Nazi Germany. It occupied many countries in Asia and the Pacific, and now it wanted to take over the Pacific, so it attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, killing many Americans. The U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, to avenge Japan's aggression, I don't defend the atomic bomb, but without the two atomic bombs, Japan's war crimes would have continued and many more Asians and Pacific Islanders would have been slaughtered, raped, and pillaged. I'll say it again: if the Japanese are sincere about apologizing to the victims of WWII, they should stop playing the victim. And Japan should teach people a proper history lesson.

I appreciate that you were able to understand the gravity of the events of the atomic bombing, but I take issue with the idea that the only reason or need to come to Hiroshima is for the peace tourism. I am an American living in Hiroshima, and this city is much, much, much more than the bombing, and there are many more reasons why people all around the world should visit here. It upsets me that Hiroshima is only known to Americans as the city we first bombed. To anyone interested in visiting Hiroshima, I absolutely do think everyone should go and experience the peace tourism AND explore the current life and culture of the city. It has its own unique food and dialect, and the people love to have a good time and are so so friendly. Hiroshima is a combination of its ancient and post-modern past with its present, which makes it so unique and worth coming to.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

I understand your perspective. We just were a little dismayed by how many videos put it in a quick list of 5 or 10 things to do, rather than devote the time we felt was appropriate to the sight. Hiroshima is a wonderful, thriving city - but first and foremost, people should visit Hiroshima to pay witness to the past (in our opinion, of course).

My father is now 86 years old. He was nine years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I repeatedly heard stories that time from my grandparents and mother who were survivors of the atomic bombing. But it wasn't until my father was over 80 that he began to tell us what happened. We can tell without him saying how much it hurt him. My grandfather, who was 31, lost his sight to the light, my mother, who was 6, lost her hair to radiation, and my pregnant grandmother died six months later with her newborn. Yet I have never heard any hatred of Americans from my family. Currently, I live in America. I go to my children's schools, who are also American, and when I give presentations on Japan, I always tell the class about the atomic bomb at the end. This is because I believe it is my duty to tell as many people as possible that the world is at peace so that no one feels the same as my family. The number of A-bomb survivors is decreasing yearly, but I hope we will pass it on and my children will inherit it. Thank you for the wonderful video!

I am Japanese living in Hiroshima prefecture. Every time I go to the city of Hiroshima, I visit the Peace Memorial and pray for people who died on the day and for all victims of war. Thank you for visiting Hiroshima! Anyway Hiroshima is a beautiful city, and you can eat a lot of delicious foods. I hope you guys have a wonderful time in Hiroshima!

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you! And thank you for watching our video. 😊🌈

Hello, I came across your channel by coincidence. I'm Japanese living in Dallas TX. I wanted to say "thank you" for sharing this beautiful story and your video. Just thank you!!! Hontoni Arigatoo ❤

Oh wow, thanks for watching and commenting! I do wish our US curriculums showed more perspectives on wars throughout history. ♥️

Thank you for coming to Hiroshima. Hiroshima is a prayer for peace, a symbol of peace and a lesson that mankind must never again make mistakes caused by nuclear weapons. Thank you for walking together in hope of peace.

i personally think that everyone who has a chance to go to Hiroshima. I was lucky enough the first time i went i managed to be there for the memorial day and got to listen to some of the survivors stories in person and it hit a lot harder than i thought it would. the whole thing changed my view on who we should be remembering on the day our own countries remember those who past during war. every time i go to a memorial service in my own country instead of remembering just the soldiers who fight the wars i also try to remember the loss of civilian life in each conflict that has been waged or will ever be waged.

Thank you for creating this video, as an Australian who along with my wife, will be visiting Japan later this year and have made our plans to travel to Hiroshima for the purpose of learning more about the destruction and recovery of the City, your video has in a way forewarned us what to expect during our visit.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Beautiful video. Growing up, we all learned about Little Boy & Fat Man. But this memorial hits home in a way that a textbook never could. Again, really well-done video, you two ❤

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

❤️❤️

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thank you both for beautifully and honestly sharing this story (and for being so open in your experience of it.) Hiroshima is such a wonderful city in so, so many ways, but its people and its story of rebuilding and hope are what make it beautiful beyond compare.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Thank you so much! This was a tough one on many levels, but there's beauty to be found there now - especially if a rainbow decides to come out and play. 😊

Thanks for this. Everyone should try to come here, and yes, this really should be the main reason you come. But in case someone is on the fence because of the tragedy of it all, yes you will also find a thriving city, with lots of things to do. We had a guide with us at the peace memorial, and after the gut wrenching tour of the inside, we were outside and some young girls in their school uniforms were gathered, with several of them stepping up to say some words in Japanese. We had earpieces so that the guide could interpret what the little girls said (I can't even type this without crying and it was 3.5 years ago), I completely lost control and had to turn around and walk a few steps away by myself. When I gathered myself, a local man smiled at me. His smile said "thank you for coming and thank you for your tears." It was and is life changing. And then. we had such an enjoyable evening eating okonomiyaki (a MUST) and going to a really great little jazz club (amazingly good, as I'm from the Chicago where we have a lot of great jazz.) The next day we did a day trip to Miyajima with the iconic photo of the Tori gate in the water, and some great scenery after taking a lift up to the top of the mountain. It's just beautiful. My point is - if you don't think you want to experience the sadness, take my word for it that it's important that you do, and yes there are really fun things to do while you're there. Peace.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Yes, you state it perfectly. It is HARD to experience, but important to let yourself feel the history of what happened there. And to do so without bias, if possible. It's so nice someone thanked you for your tears that day. Thank you for sharing your story with us. 😊🌈

[@AtticTapes14]

頻繁に訪問することは難しいですが、そうする理由は理解できます。Visiting more often would be difficult, but we understand why you would do so.

[@amandabaker104]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. Your video has a big meaning to me because I know many people in the world think this awful history as a thing which needed to be happened. This fact always makes me sad and disappointed. I don’t know how to describe my feelings, but I feel so grateful for you. And your tears has a very big meaning to me as well. Thank you again…. Thank you for coming.

[@keikun1003]

Thanks for coming to Hiroshima! My own maternal grandmother also experienced the atomic bombing. I was told that it was very tragic. I wonder what happened in this land at that time, and what kind of life there was. Thank you for learning so much from us.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

I think it probably took a long time for trees and grass to grow there again. But nature eventually finds a way! 😊

[@arys4877]

I´m Japanese. I don't talk much because I think you understand well… But thank you for coming to Japan and thinking of Hiroshima. Thank you so much. I hope that a peaceful world will be created in which the lives of people who are important to each and every person in the world "You" will not be taken away by meaningless wars.

[@mikye8876]

Thank you for visiting the Hiroshima Museum. humans make mistakes，The important thing is that humans should learn from the past and take lessons. But first we have to start by knowing what happened the truth.

[@RSidd]

Really beautiful video! I am adding Hiroshima to the itinerary now. In a few weeks, it will be my first time visiting Japan and I realise that it would be incomplete without Hiroshima. Sure there are a lot of fun stuff to do in Japan, but I am certain this city has a lot to teach us and make us much well-rounded humans.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Your comment is truly why we made this video. Thank you. ❤️ (and enjoy your trip!!)

The past cannot be changed. War does not pacify anyone. We must carry these memories with us into the future. For a future that is and will remain peaceful.

I am a Japanese man living in America. I am so glad that my parents did not teach me hatred toward the United States when I was a child. Once my father said to me, the war does not bring anything good to anybody but unhappiness.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Your father sounds like a wise man! 😊

[@limbehh8494]

Even watching this clip.... tear started to flow. Peace N Love to Mankind. ❤❤❤

[@jconwell84]

My mom was 14 years old when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She never spoke very much about it. My dad was in the Navy and we lived in Japan. I went to the Atomic Bomb Museum in 1978 or 1979. My mom went through the Museum with us and we never talked about it. I often thought about what she experienced as a 14 year old child. Such an innocent child to be burden so much. She passed away in 2009. I wish I would have asked more questions.
