In 2011, a social media Poetry for Peace contest invited the world to hear the testimonies of atomic bomb survivors, called HIBAKUSHA, and to respond to their stories in verse. A total of 741 poems were submitted, some echoing the pain of the victims, others calling for nuclear disarmament and almost all crying out for peace. The contest brought poets from all over the world together for the sake of peace.
