I will introduce the fact that Harry Gima Shinichi, the second generation of Hawaii of Okinawa descent, who has roots in Yomitan, donated funds to purchase the site of the Himeyuri Tower to the Himeyuri Reunion, and the war experiences of the surviving students of the “Himeyuri Student Corps” mobilized for the Battle of Okinawa, and the students who died. An exhibition focused on the venue.
