Fumio Shigeto: President of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Survivors Hospital
A-bomb survivors are the foundation for peace
“What happened in Hiroshima must never be repeated. A-bomb survivors are the foundation for peace in the world.”
Until his retirement in , Dr. Shigeto treated more than , A-bomb survivors. Endeared as a “benevolent father,” Dr. Shigeto’s way of life was a major influence on Kenzaburo Oe, the Nobel laureate for literature and author of Hiroshima Notes, as well as many other people. In the year he retired, Dr. Shigeto was interviewed by the Chugoku Shimbun and said:
