Lost Hiroshima Survivor Memoir Found in US Archive After 80 Years
The memoir of Kiyoshi Tanimoto, a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, will be published this summer for the first time after its discovery in a US archive. This 230-page account, written nearly 80 years ago, offers an in-depth perspective on the devastation and its lasting impact. The memoir’s publication coincides with the upcoming feature film “Hiroshima, 8:15,” which will portray Tanimoto’s story and highlight the urgent relevance of remembering such events in the face of current global nuclear threats.
