SOUNDS OF HOPE: Violin brings grandson of Truman closer to A-bomb victims | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis

Editor’s note: This is the third installment in a five-part series on the “atomic-bombed violin.” The stringed instrument, once owned by a Russian, survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. It was restored a decade ago and its sound has since touched many people’s hearts across borders.
