The Sadoko memorial in Hiroshima - a statue of a girl holding a metal crane, against a blue sky.

August 6th, 2020 marks 75 years since the bombing of Hiroshima. On this Rad Show, we are sharing a talk by Koko Kondo, a hibakusha from Hiroshima, speaking here about her experience as a nuclear survivor. This audio is from ‘Beyond Trinity’ a special panel discussion that the International Campaign for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) hosted to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first nuclear explosion in New Mexico, code-named Trinity.
