Mr. Katsufumi Shintaku will describe his experience as a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor at a presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, in Meeting Room A at the Iowa City Public Library.

On Aug. 6, 1945, Shintaku just returned from his night shift at Toyo Kogyo (currently Mazda Motor Corporation) when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. His house was 1.5 kilometers from the epicenter.

Shintaku will speak to audiences in Iowa City and at Drake University for this Web conference presentation. Steven Leeper, chairman of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, will also talk about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the call for disarmament. He is a well-known peace activist and the first American to head the foundation.

This program is sponsored by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and the University of Iowa Libraries. For more information, contact Chiaki Sakai at chiaki-sakai@uiowa.edu or 319-335-5030.
