Takashi Tanemori: was 8 at the time of atomic bombing in Hiroshima.
He was at the school compound - 1.2 km away from the hypocenter, however
he was eventually found by his father without any serious injuries. Having lost his father,
his mother, two of his sisters and his grandmother from the atomic bomb,
he eventually worked his way to immigrate to the United States at the age of 17
- only to find more hardships - working in a labor camp, getting stuck in mental hospital for months,
losing his eye sights from radiation, getting fired as a preacher from the church...
Now he has published several books and speak publicly about his transformation from vengeance to forgiveness.
Followed by Happy Hour (5-6pm)
