A Hiroshima bombing survivor said, “We shouldn’t forget what happened in the past to move forward.” We can prevent another Hiroshima/Nagasaki by remembering about what happened before and stop producing nuclear weapons.

In the book that we read, there was a character named Machiko. She was the main character’s best friend. She also loved jazz music, so in the book she secretly keeps a jazz record. “I kept one of my jazz records anyway, but papa doesn’t know. I just couldn’t give it up. It’s my favorite.”

We couldn’t find a specific person that did this but apparently people who were again the war were either thrown into jail or badly beat up. This shows that people like Machiko could get into serious trouble if they get exposed.
