The Bombing of a Japanese City
The petition asked that the president not release the bombs on japan until the terms of surrender were made public. The petition was sign by 70 other members of the metallurgical laboratory. I am looking at a list of 155 names, scientists across the manhattan project who made it known to history that they did not support the bombing of a japanese city. My grandfather's name is not among them. To come face to face with my family's truth, i knew i had to visit heroshima. So i packed a photograph of my grandfather and boarded a plane to Japan.
