2025広島平和記念式典 2025 Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony

原爆投下の惨禍から80年目の式典中継を先ほどまでテレビ中継で見ました。

6人（内小学生2名）の挨拶を見聞きしました。見聞きした人、それぞれに受け止め方があるでしょう。

私の場合、内容、挨拶の態度で最も印象に残ったのが湯崎広島県知事の挨拶でした。その反対が石破首相でした。一度も顔を参列者に向けることなく、下を向いたままで、原稿を棒読みする姿では内容は伝わりません。

私の二人の伯父（第二次世界大戦で戦死）と叔父（広島で原爆被爆者）が生きていれば、どのように受け止めただろうか。

2025 Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony:

I watched the live broadcast of the ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing until a few minutes ago.

I saw and heard six people (including 2 elementary school students) give five speeches.

Each person who saw and heard the speeches directly or indirectly probably must have perceived them differently.

As for me, the most impressive speech in terms of content and attitude was that of Hiroshima Governor Yuzaki. The opposite was the one of Prime Minister Ishiba. He never once turned his face to the participants, but kept looking down, only reading his speech from his script.

I wonder how my two uncles (one killed in WWII and the other, an atomic bomb victim in Hiroshima) would have taken it had they been alive.
