Annotation:
Remembering Nagasaki is an online exhibit produced by the Exploratorium that presents black and white photographs of Yosuke Yamahata taken after the dropping of the atom bomb, and also features fascinating commentary from the public. From July to November of 1995, visitors to the exhibit were asked to contribute their recollections of learning about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some of the hundreds of narratives received from around the world are presented on the website. In addition, the public forum discussing the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the nuclear age is preserved on the site.
