The Truth About Hiroshima And Nagasaki - PSMLS Class

The People’s School for Marxist-Leninist Studies

This class explores the true reasoning behind the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and debunks the narratives that the bombings were necessary, justified or excusable in any way. The class also goes over the background of World War 2 and nuclear research that led up to the atomic bombings, and it examines the aftermath of the bombings and how they changed the world forever, drawing comparisons to the present nuclear crisis. This class comes 78 years after the atomic bombings, but they are just as relevant now as they were then, and we will mourn and honor the victims of the bombings.
