This year holds the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is also the last year to achieve the “Mayors for Peace 2020 Vision” a project which hopes to manage the abolition of nuclear weapons while the victims of said bombings are still here to be witnesses.

The commemoration ceremonies of “Mayors for Peace 2020” are built around the idea of “No more Hiroshima! No more Nagasaki!” which wants to give all people who cannot visit the bombing sites themselves, the possibility to share the wish of the “hibakusha” – “No one should have to suffer like we had to.”
