    And how many of those still living Korean hibakusha still have to await recognition for compensation and treatment?

    "More than 20,000 ethnic Koreans who lived in Hiroshima as soldiers, civilian employees of the army, mobilized students and ordinary citizens amid Japan’s colonization of the Korean Peninsula are said to have fallen victim to the U.S. atom bombing of the city during the war."

    Well, good on them for recognizing this, but I believe they forget two of the 'occupations': slave and sex-slave.

    Note: the Koreans held the ceremony. Not the good Japanese citizens of Hiroshima.

    Disgusting.
