  • Summary

  • Nihon Hidankyo, Japan’s nationwide organization of atomic bomb survivors, was awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. The award announcement said one reason the organization received the award was that the personal testimony of its members has advanced “stigmatizing the use of nuclear weapons.” Father William Grimm shares some thoughts on this.

    Produced by Binu Alex
