Eighty years after the war, people who experienced war died one after another, making it difficult to hear war experiences directly from those who experienced it. After there are no people who have experienced it, how to pass on war experiences has become a social issue. Introducing the Himeyuri Museum's efforts to continue conveying the war experiences of Himeyuri students. Share the reality of the Battle of Okinawa and think about how to connect peace to the next generation.
