rants that prophesize the impending doom. Soon each family member takes their own conflicting positions on the fateof planet Earth—until a human tragedy pulls them together.

and unforgettable film.

Based on Children of the Atom Bomb, a book of testimonies
by children who experienced the bombing of Hiroshima, thisharrowing drama details the destruction and suffering left in
the wake of the A-bomb for a group of students, teachers
and their families. A direct indictment against nuclear war
and the mistreatment of Hiroshima’s stigmatized survivors,
this independently produced and distributed film was funded by the Japan Teachers Union in an effort to “preserve
peace” and utilized tens of thousands of Hiroshima citizens as extras,
including many survivors. Recently rediscovered after decades of obscurity,
Hiroshima is a major work of anti-war
cinema and a chilling reminder of theconsequences of nuclear warfare.

JC Community Picnic– July 1st Save the Date!
Submitted by the JC Community Picnic Committee

We were very sad to have to cancel the 2017 picnic at the lastminute due to flooding and less-than-ideal weather conditions, but
we are still planning on hosting the annual JC Community Picnic
this year. Please mark your calendars and tell your friends/family
that we will be back at Caledon Place on Sunday July 1, 2018.
The picnic has been held almost annually since 1977,
making it a long-running family tradition for many Japanese
Canadian families in Southern Ontario. We are hoping it might
become a new tradition for some families as well!
We still have a lot to do to plan for the 41st JCCP, so staytuned for updates and we hope to see all of you there on July 1!

10“Setsuko Thurlow:
Survivor, Activist, Trailblazer”– March 15, 2018
Submitted by anonymous

On
December
10,
2017,
Setsuko Thurlow (born Setsuko
Nakamura) and Beatrice Fihn
accepted the 2017 Nobel Peace
Prize on behalf of the International
Campaign to Abolish Nuclear
Weapons (ICAN). Speaking at
a sold-out event organized by
the Factor-Inwentash Faculty ofSocial Work Alumni Association of the University of Toronto in
its 2018 Distinguished Speakers Series to a standing ovation,
Setsuko who is Hiroshima Peace Ambassador for The City ofHiroshima stated that she had accepted the Nobel Peace Prizeof behalf of all those who support ICAN’s aims.
Setsuko’s life has been dedicated to nuclear disarmament.
A survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6,1945 when she was a grade 8 student, Setsuko continues to be
haunted by the memory of her four-year old nephew, his charred
body and his cries for water until death mercifully released himfrom his agony. Seventy-two years later, lingering effects ofradiation from the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima andNagasaki, Japan continue to kill off survivors. Setsuko regrets
the statistical accounting of casualties which deprived victims of
their human dignity by reducing them to mere numbers - eachsurvivor deprived of the normal grieving and healing process
which is integral to dealing with catastrophe.
Setsuko emigrated to Canada in 1955 after having left her
hometown of Hiroshima to study in the United States. Aftercompleting her Master’s degree in Social Work at the Universityof Toronto, Setsuko worked at the Toronto Board of Education,
but took early retirement to establish the Japanese Family
Services of Metro Toronto after she discovered the difficulties
encountered by Japanese speakers in obtaining professionaland social services due to the small size of the community andongoing racism following the post World War II-dispersal period
notwithstanding that the Japanese Canadians and Japanese
expatriates were Canadian taxpayers. Founding the Japanese
Family Services, states Setsuko proudly, is her greatest
accomplishment in Toronto.
Despite approval by more than 120 United Nations member
nations of the 1st ever Prohibition of Nuclear Arms Treaty in2017, the Government of Canada is not considering signing
the treaty. Setsuko urges Canadians to raise their concernswith the Prime Minister. Her repeated insistence that she
doesn’t have much time left, herself at age 86 was commingled
throughout her moving presentation with the constant threat ofpending nuclear disaster.
