Nihon Hidankyo is not alone in winning the Nobel peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.
The heads of the some of the most powerful countries in the world would be wise to listen to the devastating testimony of Hiroshima survivors.
Though it causes great personal pain, Hiroshima’s last remaining orphans still want the world to hear their stories, 75 years on.
The average age of survivors is now 80. In five years, very few of these first-hand witnesses will be around to remember the event. Many of their stories are in danger of being lost forever.
