'Remember Hiroshima' has been the familiar slogan in any Post WWII Anti-Nuclear Peace Rallies all over the world. But have we really ever asked the true meaning of this simple English noun phrase? The author and playwright, Kai Hong uncovers a semantic dimension of this familiar, often-heard peace-march slogan and argues for an alternative interpretation of that momentous historical event of Hiroshima A-Bomb Boming of August 6, 1945. This book is composed of a Brechtian political play in which the tragic story of a Korean A-Bomb victim from Hiroshima and a scholarly essay, devoted a new semantic and historical interpretations of that event in contradistinction to what are the standard historical approaches to understanding that critical event such as the ones offered by John Hersey, James Lifton and/or other liberal journalistic accounts. Kai Hong also disagrees with what Alain Resnai and Margaret Duras tried to do in their acclaimed 'art' film, HIROSHIMA MON ARMOUR, created in the guise of a 'false documentary'. Kai Hong play has been produced many times in UK, in Korea every year, in Germany, Hungary and elsewhere.
