A survey suggests that many are staying silent about their experiences. 1,000 survivors were contacted and 958 of them responded. 39 say they have fewer or no chances to talk about their ordeals at schools or home. 24 say they have more opportunities than in the past. 23 said theres been no change. The survey found among those who say theyre speaking less 36 cited their Failing Health and also a lack of requests. 19 said theyre less eager to talk about their experiences. An 86yearold survivor said people have stopped asking for a firsthand account. Another says the public sees the atomic bombings as things of the past and theyre not interested in hearing about them. John herseys groundbreaking article hiroshima was published in a major u. S. Magazine one year after the war. The author describes the experiences of atomic bomb survivors. His grandson visited hiroshima recently to learn more about the city and trace john herseys path. Reporter cannon hersey is an artist based in new york city. Through his art, he aims to raise awareness of people whose lives are altered by war and discrimination. Cannons grandfather was a war correspondent. The article in the new yorker exposed the suffering of hir hiroshima bomb victims. It sent shock waves throughout the united states. Hersey didnt really talk about his article with cannon. Curious about the hiroshima his grandfather experienced, cannon visited the city for the first time this year 70 years after the war ended. He saw the scars of the atomic bomb, which still remain. This large tree stands about one kilometer from the epicenter. It is one of the trees that grew again in an area devastated in the raging fires. Can also visited a hospital that treated survivors.

Many survivors of the bomb didnt or couldnt marry because of prejudice against them. Reporter john hersey visited hiroshima again in 1985 and coined the phrase meaning of memory. The memories themselves, he thought, were beacons of hope for mankind. For my grandfather, it was a very littereral transformation of what six survivors had been through at that time. For this generation there needs to be a different approach. And i feel like thats a big ambition of ours right now is to allow people to find their own meaning within the memory through a creative expression. Reporter cannon has decided to use art as a means to express the mean of memory that his grandfather wanted to convey. He met with local students and young people in order to pique their interest.

Im sharing the story of atomic bomb so yuck people in particular will realize that it doesnt only affect direct victims of the bomb. It also sets off a cycle of negative effects. Reporter production has finally begun. First, cannon created a piece about his impressions of his experience in hiroshima. In this screen theres a small representation of my reaction to my experience here. Nice, good layout. Reporter the Young Students put great effort in creating a piece that would reflect the meaning of memory. It hurts to listen to what the survivors go to museums. But i think its important to face up to those memories. And try not to run away.

Also participating in the project were students from nagasaki, which suffered from the aftereffects of the second atomic bomb. A red string tied around a globe represents human veins. The work represents the bombnds and connections between people that are bigger and more important than nationality, race and religion.

Through understanding the Human Experience we can understand a better way. So i took that from this journey and i hope to reflect on it more. Millions of lives lost.
