Mrs. Yamashita at Gallery EF, Last Goodbye, November 2010
“With gratitude of life, I live my life as strong as I can.
And for the sake of people who were forced to end life at that moment,
it is my role to make the world go around.” –Mrs. Hisayo Yamashita
“I attend the memorial service every year on August 9th,
to apologize to the people I had to stand by and watch die.” –Mr. Hisanobu Murozono
Mrs. Chisa Tanimoto
“I did not even think I had been saved.
I was filled with hate for a long time.
But now, I devote my life to telling others my story.
It is my responsibility to teach younger generations
about the dignity of life and the importance of peace.” –Mrs. Suzuko Numata
“Among humankind’s abilities, it is said imagination is the weakest and forgetfulness the strongest.” —Mr. Akihiro Takahashi
