This website chronicles testimony and survivor narratives from the bombing of Nagasaki in World War II. Often in U.S. History curriculum the main focus of the use of the Atomic Bomb is from the viewpoint of how the United States justified the use of atomic warfare. When I have taught this curriculum in the past I felt that it lacked a point of view from the Japanese population and a connection to the individual accounts of the bombing. This website can be utilized to tell the personal stories behind the use of the bomb from a human perspective. Furthermore, it can provide a better-rounded curriculum to present our students with. I would use this website along with American accounts of the use of the atomic bomb. Students will then use these accounts to analyze and evaluate the use of atomic warfare from the human perspective. Warning: some of the testimony is graphic in nature and would not necessarily be appropriate for all ages.
