Hiroshima Peace Memorial Talk, Film Screening, & Ceremony

Please join us to hear Victor Kimura of Watsonville share about his family's experiences in Hiroshima and Japanese internment camps, followed by a short film, paper crane folding, and a ceremony marking the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We'll meet at 1 PM at RCNV for a screening of Collateral Damage, a 35-minute documentary created by RCNV staff and volunteers about construction of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial located near the Santa Cruz Clock Tower. After the screening we’ll fold paper cranes and march to the memorial to lay the cranes around it. Victor Kimura will be joining us to share stories about his family who were in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb dropped. His mother and father, born in Watsonville and Petaluma, respectively, were imprisoned in Arizona’s Poston Camp during World War II. Victor was 6 months old when his family moved back to Freedom in 1945.
