This presentation explores Japanese Americans -- memories of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. It is well known that there were hundreds of thousands of Japanese victims; much less known is that fact that there were about 3,000 Japaneses Americans-American Citizens-who were victimized by the bombs. This group of survivors offers us a new ay of thinking about the Bomb in transnational contexts, urgin us to understand experiences of women and men who crossed national, social, and cultural boundaries.
