Korean A-bomb Victims

Explore our Korean A-bomb Victims Guide, shedding light on the forgotten Korean nationals affected by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

During the 1930s, approximately 1.2 million Koreans were forcibly removed by the Japanese from their homeland, and many were brought to the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to work for the Japanese. The U.S. knowingly dropped the world’s first atomic bombs on these two civilian cities on August 6 and August 9, 1945, claiming over 700,000 victims in total, 70,000 of which were Korean nationals.
