Grandparent Oral Histories: WWII Reconciliation Continued/ CANCELED!

Speaker: Cooney

Saturday
4:45 PM - 5:40 PM
Due to PGL1 participant interest in possibilities for reconciliation for Japanese university students' grandparents regarding their WW2 experiences, this session will examine those possibilities. In a Peace Studies module, students study the reconciliation of a hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor), one of the US pilots on the Hiroshima mission, and various stories of personal acts of reconciliation to heal the wounds of WW2 as a prelude to interviewing their grandparents.
