TOKYO (AP) — The recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is a fast-dwindling group of atomic bomb survivors. They’re increasingly worried about their old age and the limited time to convey the firsthand horror they witnessed 79 years ago. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Nihon Hidankyo for its activism against nuclear weapons. The Japanese organization of survivors, or hibakusha, see the prize and the international attention as their last chance to get their message out to younger generations. The Nobel committee noted that there is hope, and a youth movement is starting.
