| 作者による説明 | ＊＊絵の中 Past visited at Seaborg memorial A Hiroshima bombing victim comes to make peace at service for Nobel laureate By Chuck Squatriglia TIMES STAFF WRITER BERKELEY ― Literati converged on UC-Berkeley on Saturday to pay a final tribute to Nobel laureate Glenn T. Seaborg. Thomas Takashi Tanemori came for a different reason. More than 53 years after he survived the nuclear bomb that Seaborg helped develop, Tanemori wanted to make peace with the past. Tears welled in his eyes as the last of the anger he had held in his heart for decades slipped away. “I want him to know my heart has changed,”said Tanemori, 61, of Lafayette, who at age 8 watched the atomic bomb fall on Hiroshima.“I’m hoping his spirit senses my desire for peace.” Tanemori joined more than 100 people Saturday in a “circle of sharing”to memorialize Seaborg. He died Feb.25 at home in Lafayette at age 86. But it was Tanemori’s heartfelt testimonial that galvanized the audience. The crowd fell silent as the retired Baptist minister recounted the aftermath of the bomb that fell on Aug.5,1945. The radiation killed his parents, grandparents and several siblings. Even today, he said, it continues to steal his eyesight. It also infected him with a deep hatred for the United States and an insatiable desire to avenge his loss. Feeling isolated and ashamed in a culture focused heavily on family, he attempted suicide at age 16. Finally, he came to the United States in 1956 at age 18, and the anger grew. On the 40th anniversary of the bombing, Tanemori spoke at a service and realized he would not know happiness until he let go of his hatred. Slowly, Tanemori said, he grew to admire Seaborg’s dedication to nuclear nonprofileration and his contributions to science and medicine. “That helped bring my own change and forgiveness,”Tanemori said. Despite living in the same town as Seaborg, Tanemori never met the man who was the target of so much of his anger. “I was glad to have a chance to speak my heart,”he said.“I was able to find peace.” Reconciliation with former enemies became central to my life. Examples include my involvement in the Russian Winter Medical and Food Relief Campaign. I have also been involved with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a primogenitor of the atomic bomb, to aide with a research initiative for the development of a guidance system for the blind as a part of“military-peace-conversion”project. I also made overture-apologies to a local chapter of Pearl Harbor survivors and worked with “Children of the Manhattan Project”projects. I have made sincere, but unsuccessful attempts to meet with and reconcile with the “father of atom bomb”, Dr.Glenn T Seaborg, the man who discovered ‘plutonium’ for the making of atomic bomb, who since passed away in February 1999. I have also met and embraced Dr.Robert Christy, who was one of the physicists, who worked on the bomb. I also worked on the film documentation on“Hiroshima”by Show Time Networks for the 50th Anniversary of Hiroshima in 1995. ＊＊裏 Secrecy of WWII 23/28-46 ―Past Visited At Seaborg Memorial Date: July 1, 2002 A Hiroshima Survivor Takashi“Thomas”Tanemori |
