At just twenty years old, Mr. Masakazu Saito was a squad leader in the Imperial Army’s Communications Division in Hiroshima. His barracks stood only 1,800 meters from the epicenter, making him one of the closest survivors of the atomic blast.
In 2001, he shared his extraordinary story of survival through a series of watercolors with a young American living in Japan. Twenty-five years later, these paintings, along with his testimony, have been published, offering the world a powerful glimpse into the devastation of an atomic explosion and continuing his lifelong mission: to bear witness, advocate for peace, and call for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Teens ages 13 - 18 are welcome to attend with an adult.
