“Having lived through an experience too cruel to be put into words, the atomic bomb survivors have continued to appeal for nuclear abolition and to extend their desire for peace to the people of the world. Their dedication stems from their deep humanitarian conviction that no one should ever again suffer as we have.” 
–The Hiroshima Appeal from Mayors for Peace, 2013
