In every alley of Ueno station, one of the main train stations in Tokyo, there were always groups of former war prisoners held in Siberia, still wearing their tattered uniforms and playing accordion, chanting, and panhandling. Many of them had lost their limbs and eyes and made a horrifying, yet curious, spectacle. As a little child, I could not help but ask my father “Who are they?” That was the beginning of a long dialogue about war between the two of us. That image has remained deep in my heart up to this day with the sorrowful sound of accordions. My father had just started work at an electrical laboratory at the University of Tokyo when he found he had been drafted into the imperial military and would be sent to China to work on electrical communications. He was 21 years old. His most trusted professor held a secret meeting in the basement of the university with the newest crop of drafted young men and told them, “Japan is engaging in an impossible war that we will never win.

Leis of paper cranes and beautiful fresh flowers were presented to Jerry Renshaw, Jessica Reynolds Renshaw (Barbara Reynolds’ daughter), and Tony Reynolds (Barbara Reynolds’ grandson.) 1 Jessica Reynolds Renshaw’s Remarks Dear Members of the Monument Committee, hibakusha, friends, and family, We are happy to meet with you today. My husband Jerry and I have come from California and my nephew Tony, one of Barbara's grandsons, has come from Texas. We also represent my brothers, Barbara's sons Tim and Ted Reynolds, and her other 8 grandchildren who would have come if possible. We are here at the invitation of the Dedication Committee to unveil a monument to my mother, who would have been 96 years old today. To me, it is amazing that the hibakusha of the nuclear bomb dropped by Americans would erect a monument to an American woman at their Ground Zero. I am so humbled by your forgiveness and desire to do this. Many people whose lives have been touched by my mother's life call her a saint, even a "national treasure." But my mother would have been the first to say she was just an imperfect human being.

  • 2014-2015 Report
    2014-2015 REPORT THE PROGRAM FOR HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT FOR PEACEBUILDING Joint Programme of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and the Hiroshima Peacebuilders Center, funded by the Government of Japan ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Peacebuilding is a complex process that aims to resolve violent conflict and establish lasting peace. The foundations of peacebuilding are the restoration of justice, healing of trauma, reconciliation, development action and effective leadership. With violent conflict never far from headlines around the globe, one of the central parts of the Government of Japan’s strategy to help foster lasting peace worldwide is the Program for Human Resource Development for Peacebuilding. Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, this program demonstrates the power of volunteerism in peacebuilding and peacekeeping activities through the fielding of skilled, trained and committed citizens from Japan and other Asian countries to countries experiencing conflict or post-conflict situations. United Nations Volunteers deployed under the program bring new skills and qualities that expand the reach of peacebuilding efforts. Working alongside national counterparts, UNV’s Human Resource Development for Peacebuilding volunteers (UNV HRD Volunteers) contribute their skills, experience and enthusiasm to projects that range from humanitarian coordination within emergencies and protracted displacement situations to crisis prevention and post-conflict recovery efforts. A number of assignments also support and strengthen the delivery of basic services so that local governance and civil society can be stabilized and strengthened for the long haul. Social inclusion plays a vital role in all aspects of the volunteer assignments, with youth, women and marginalized groups proactively included in peace and development initiatives in communities.
