Description

Our society has focused on passing down memories of people who have experienced various events more than 75 years after the war, the Great East Japan Earthquake, and others. This paper aims to explain the function of sites when we pass on their memories to the next generation. In this study, the author analyzes the conversation between two survivors of the A-bomb and a person born after the war about peoples' lives in Hiroshima before the atomic bomb dropped. The results indicated that their conversation themes focused on the sites of this town before and after the atomic bombing. Thereafter, they developed their memories of their A-bomb experiences collectively, with this as a clue to go on. As written above, this paper shows the function of sites that facilitate collective remembrances of past events.
