Around the beginning of 1940’s, our food and life essentials became scarce, because they were sent to military and we were forced to be patient for the tense social condition. At night it was dark in the city as well as at home by military control. Any war news of the battlefield were controlled and we were told only the Japanese Navy, Army and Air Force soldiers were bravely fighting. Later we gradually learned of their defeat of and loss of many battleships and aircraft.

1. Etsuko Sekiguchi, a member of Japan, attended the World Youth Peace Seminar held in Tokyo on August 5th, 2004. Hearing her report, we were very much impressed by the story of a boy, a refugee, who had escaped from the persecution of a Taliban in Afghanistan. He is now living in Japan but he misses his family and wishes he could attend school everyday just like other Japanese children.
