About this episode
Ernest Satoru Arai was 10 years old when the world entered the nuclear age. It was August 6, 1945 ― the young Japanese-American was in Hiroshima for schooling when US forces dropped the atomic bomb that devastated the city. Arai suffered severe burns and radiation exposure that have defined his life ever since.
Now 91, he serves as a peace volunteer at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, sharing his harrowing experience with visitors from every corner of the globe.
