Setsuko Thurlow survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. She now fights for disarmament

Setsuko Thurlow survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. She now spends her life fighting for nuclear disarmament.

Setsuko Thurlow was a 13-year-old schoolgirl when an atomic bomb was dropped on her home city of Hiroshima, Japan. Most of the places she knew were destroyed in an instant. Narrowly escaping death herself, Setsuko became a witness to the brutal aftermath of atomic warfare, and the things she saw that day would compel her to spend her life fighting for nuclear disarmament.
