2025 marks 80 years since the end of World War II. 2025 marks 80 years since the end of World War II. At a special event in Canada, “Reflecting on War through Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Setsuko Thurlow appeared as a guest speaker. For decades, she has dedicated her life to telling the world about the horrors of nuclear weapons through her own story. She always carries with her a cloth embroidered with the names of 351 classmates and teachers—lives lost in the bombing. Now, it is our turn to listen, to remember, and to act—for a world without nuclear weapons. . #hiroshimanagasaki #setsukothurlow #endnuclearweapons #neveragain #endnuclearweapons #nomorehiroshima #wwii80years #peaceforfuture #voicesforpeace #サーロー節子 #広島長崎 #終戦80年 #核なき世界 #被爆者の声 #平和への願い #カナダ #torja
