Hiroshima Doll Protest at Disney - By Ben Cohen's Up In Arms
To mark the 80th Anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, I orchestrated a quietly staged cultural protest at Disneyland. We placed a small, ash-covered doll holding a sign that read “Remember Hiroshima” inside Disneyland’s It’s a Small World ride.
The doll’s placement in a ride built around childhood innocence was deliberate. The intended message couldn’t be more timely: war is killing children while the world continues to look away.
