Michiko Kodama, assistant secretary-general of the Japan Confederation of A and H Bomb Sufferers' Organizations, prepares to narrate her experience on a livestream of "Kataribe" or story-telling session Sunday, July 12, 2020, in Tokyo. “For me, the war is not over yet,” said Michiko Kodama, 82, who survived the bombing but has lost most of her relatives from cancer, including one of her two daughters. Years after the atomic bombing, a receptionist at a clinic near Tokyo noted Kodama's “hibakusha” medical certificate in a loud voice, and a patient sitting next to her in a waiting room moved away from her. The fear of death, prejudice and discrimination at work and in marriage continues, and nuclear weapons still exist. (AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko)
