Kibo No Chinkonka (Requiem) Holocaust Daini Sedai Ga Otozureta Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukushima

[Machine Translation] Born in Poland to parents who survived the Holocaust, writer Eva Hoffman immigrated to North America at age 13. She has received much sympathy for her contemplation of the issues facing the second generation, who will take the experiences of pain and loss of their parents' generation and pass them on to the next generation. Hoffman visited Japan after the Great East Japan Earthquake. She interacted with A-bomb survivors and second-generation A-bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, wrote poetry with poets Jotaro Wakamatsu and Arthur Vinard in Fukushima, gave a lecture to young people, and held a dialogue with composer Michiru Oshima, a second-generation A-bomb survivor in Nagasaki. Hoffman's message to Japan.
