English DVD for overseas promotion available at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

by Sakiko Masuda, Staff Writer

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum has created an English-version DVD, titled "From Hiroshima to the Future," in hopes of inspiring people in other countries to visit the museum.

In August 2008, the group Soroptimist International of Heiwa Hiroshima presented the museum with the Japanese version of the DVD for promotional purposes. To create the English version, English subtitles and dubbing have been added. The DVD contains explanations of museum exhibits, as well as scenes of A-bomb survivors sharing their experiences with students visiting Hiroshima on school trips.

The DVD runs 28 minutes and 500 copies have been produced. They will be distributed free of charge to dignitaries from other countries and peace groups in Japan and abroad, teachers and school officials, and others. They will also be lent out by the museum. For further information, contact Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum by phone at 81-82-241-4004.
