Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight @ Normal Township Hall

Chiyono Shoji Hamer’s resilience knows no bounds. At the tender age of nine, she endured the horrors of the atomic bomb dropped over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Her daughter, Susan Woollen, recounts her remarkable journey, weaving a narrative that extends beyond personal survival to encompass broader themes of war’s devastation, the specter of nuclear weapons, and the migration of Japanese War Brides to the United States.

This program meets at Normal Township Hall. Registration is required and space is limited.
