How Hiroshima became a city of peace // Black Swan podcast. Off-season
Why were Hiroshima and Nagasaki specifically targeted for nuclear bombing? Who rebuilt the devastated cities? How does American propaganda relate to this? And what does historical memory mean to the Japanese?
In the off-season of the "Black Swan" podcast, we're sharing unpublished interview excerpts. In the fourth episode, Anna Bronovitskaya, a PhD candidate in art history and an expert on 20th-century architecture, answers questions about the reconstruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
