Hiroshima and Nagasaki Remembrance: A Call for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament is an annual event to commemorate the tragic atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. While this event serves as a solemn reminder of the devastating impacts of nuclear warfare, it is also a celebration of ongoing efforts to ensure a peaceful future and the creation of a universal human nation, a responsibility we all share.
