Wataru Namba was among approximately 3,000 U.S.-born Japanese Americans living in Hiroshima on the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, when the atomic bomb was dropped by the United States. Buildings within a 1.6-mile radius were flattened. (Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second, more powerful atomic bomb on Nagasaki.) The Hiroshima death toll would rise to 140,000 by that December due to radiation exposure and other sicknesses and injuries caused by the bomb; survivors, or hibakusha, suffered ailments for their entire lives. Now, 75 years after the bombs, and with about 136,000 survivors still living, the question of who will continue to voice their stories is growing more urgent. In many cases, a new generation has stepped up to carry them forward. "My grandfather's experience as a Japanese American survivor did not fit in with what I read in textbooks growing up, which said that Japanese Americans were interned in America, and Japanese citizens were bombed in Hiroshima," says @jambanamba, who alongside @sazzygourley co-created the short film An American Hibakusha. "Not many hibakusha remain," he adds, "but while people like my grandfather are still alive, it's important for us to preserve, see and hear their stories." Watch the full film at the link in bio.
