On Wednesday, March 11, several producers from Japan's national public broadcasting organization, NHK, visited the Atomic Heritage Foundation's office in Washington, DC to learn more about our extensive oral history collection and interview AHF President Cindy Kelly about our ongoing effort to preserve Manhattan Project history.
With the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than four months away, NHK has been working to collect and preserve bomb survivors' testimonies and share them with the public. The station's Culture and Welfare Programs Division is also working on a number of documentaries that explore the Manhattan Project and its legacy for the twenty-first century.
