In view of the real threat of possible atomic wars, a sensible message of the cities Hiroshima/Nagasaki seems desirable, they being the only cities, which have become victims of atomic bombs. The survivors of Hiroshima/Nagasaki appeal to the atomic world powers by expressing the irreplaceable value of life, the dignity of the severely disabled and by criticizing Japan’s offences at the same time. |
