flag Descendants and survivors marked the 80th anniversary of Nagasaki’s atomic bombing, honoring Allied POWs who suffered during the attack.

flag In 2025, descendants of Allied POWs and Japanese atomic bomb survivors gathered in Nagasaki to mark the 80th anniversary of the August 9, 1945, bombing, honoring the overlooked experiences of hundreds of British, American, Dutch, and Australian prisoners held in Japanese camps during the attack. flag Though largely absent from mainstream history, these POWs endured brutal conditions and forced labor before the blast, with at least eight killed and many injured at the Fukuoka No. flag 14 Camp near ground zero, while others at the Fukuoka No. flag 2 Camp suffered injuries and structural damage. flag Survivors recounted fireballs, burns, collapsed shelters, and later aid from U.S. food drops and compassionate civilians. flag The commemoration highlighted efforts to preserve these stories, promote remembrance, and acknowledge the shared suffering of all victims of war.
