Osaka International Peace Center - Osaka, Japan
The Osaka International Peace Center is a museum focusing on the destruction of the city during the second World War.
I accidentally stumbled upon the place and thought it would be worth checking out. It doesn't take too long to explore, but it's packed with artifacts and displays. While it was upsetting to see the impact of the air raids, it was very educational.
If you visit #Osaka, I'd put this place on the list.

Some Live in Darkness, Some Live in Light: China and Elsewhere in 1900
2019 Kwang Siam Lim Memorial Lecture
At the turn of the twentieth century, in a brilliant spectacle, the Western powers and Japan demonstrated their imperial prowess at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Several months later, the same powers invaded China to lift the siege of the foreign legations by the Boxers and the Qing government. The Qing government fell to its nadir, but China’s inextricable links to global trends soon brought dramatic change. This lecture shows how, in this critical decade, facing imperialism, trade war, anarchism, and racial nationalism, the Chinese people engaged with the dark and bright aspects of the world.

Barack Obama on 15th Anniversary of 9/11*(D-Hyde Park), Hyde Park Herald, Sep. 19, 2001
State Sen. Barack Obama (D-Hyde Park), Hyde Park Herald, Sep. 19, 2001:
We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.
We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent…
On August 6, 1945, just before 8:15 AM, Japan time, fourteen-year-old Akihiro Takahashi and his classmates at Hiroshima Municipal Junior High School were lining up in the schoolyard for morning assembly. High up in the sky, he saw a B-29 approaching. Instinctively, he pointed and soon all of his classmates were pointing as the plane was about to pass over. The teachers came from the school and ordered the students to quiet down and fall in for assembly. Takahashi looked at the platform where his teachers stood, then everything went black. When the darkness faded and his vision returned, Takahashi saw his fellow students lying around him, all of them badly burned and cut. When he stood, he couldn’t believe his eyes. “Everything had collapsed for as far as I could see,” he told a documentary film crew twenty years ago. “I thought the city of Hiroshima had suddenly disappeared.”
In 1979, thirty-four years after the atomic blast at Hiroshima, Takahashi became director of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and one of Japan’s most conspicuous hibakusha—literally, “those who were bombed.” Akhiro Takahashi Talking this summer in a basement office at the museum, he divided his life story into three fourteens: the fourteen years before the bomb fell, the fourteen hundred meters he stood from the bomb’s hypocenter (distance from the hypocenter is a crucial factor in certification as a hibakusha), and the fourteen hospitalizations he has endured because of radiation-related illnesses. He has delicate features and a very precise way of speaking as he remembers how on that day (as everyone in Hiroshima refers to the date of the bombing), he was burned all over his body. His charred skin sloughed off and hung in long swathes exposing the muscles underneath. Like so many of the survivors, he made his way to the river to try to extinguish his burning flesh. He had no way of knowing then that the physical suffering had only begun. He spent the first year and a half after the blast in the hospital. The most serious damage was to his right arm, where the muscles and bones in his elbow and first four fingers had fused.

SEINFIELD IN ISRAEL
Star comedian Jerry Seinfeld arrived in Israel Friday in the first stop on a world tour to promote his new animated film Bee Movie.
It was the 53-year-old's second visit to the Jewish state. He volunteered on a kibbutz in northern Israel in 1970.
Seinfeld, who is Jewish, met with Israeli President Shimon Peres and then toured Jerusalem's Old City near the Western Wall, the holiest site for Jews, and made a stop at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum.
You can imagine how much people like you here and respect you, Peres told Seinfeld as the two sat in suits and ties in front of Israeli flags at the president's residence in Jerusalem.
Seinfeld explained his movie to the 84-year-old Nobel peace laureate.
It's about a bee who's not sure that he wants to go into honey, Seinfeld said, as Peres laughed. They tell him he has no choice.
Seinfeld also gave Peres an explanation of computer animation.
The DreamWorks-Paramount flick that Seinfeld co-wrote and co-produced debuted Nov. 2 and has been in first or second place among top hits in U.S. theatres since, bringing in US $94 million.

Politicians visit controversial shrine
SHOTLIST
1. Members of parliament (MPs) walking down the corridor of the Yasukuni Shrine
2. Wide shot MPs walking up to the altar
3. Shinto priest praying
4. Wide shot of shrine with MPs just visible inside, praying
5. Closer shot of MPs backs during prayers
6. MPs walking out of the shrine
7. Exterior of Yasukuni Shrine
STORYLINE:
80 Japanese politicians visited a shrine dedicated to the nation's war dead on Friday, risking upsetting China at a time when bilateral tensions have been rapidly escalating.
Takeo Hiranuma, a former trade minister, and Tamisuke Watanuki, a former speaker of the lower house, were among 49 lower house and 31 upper house members of parliament who paid their respects at Yasukuni Shrine.
There were no Cabinet ministers among the group, which visited the shrine in observance of an annual spring festival.
Aides representing several dozen other politicians also attended.
They were part of a group dedicated to regularly visiting Yasukuni.
Mostly men in dark suits, they filed into the shrine's stone-covered grounds together and went into the main hall to begin their prayers for the souls of those who lost their lives at war.
China, along with Japan's other Asian neighbours like South Korea, has long objected to visits to Yasukuni by Japanese leaders because it honours executed World War II war criminals along with 2.5 million Japanese war dead.
Takao Fujii, a former transportation minister and chairman of the group that regularly visits the shrine said they hoped build up the peace by forming friendship with neighbouring nations.
He also described current strained ties with China as unfortunate.
Relations between the two countries have deteriorated in recent weeks after Tokyo approved new history textbooks that critics, both inside and outside of Japan, say ignore or rewrite elements of Japan's militarist past.
Demonstrations in Beijing and other Chinese cities against the textbooks and Japan's bid to win a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, turned violent in recent weeks, leading protesters to pelt Japanese diplomatic missions with bottles and rocks.
Japan has demanded an apology for damage to its embassy and consulates, but Beijing has blamed Japan for the troubles.
Tokyo is hopeful Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi will be able to meet Chinese President Hu Jintao to repair ties while they both attend a conference of Asian and African leaders in Indonesia this weekend.

W. E. B. Du Bois, Education, and Archaeology in Egypt
Vanessa Davies, Visiting Scholar Researcher, Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley
Recently discovered correspondence from the early twentieth century has shed light on a disagreement between W. E. B. Du Bois and W. M. F. Petrie, the developer of Egyptian archaeology as a scientific discipline. Their letters focused on the education of people of African descent in America and of Egyptians in Egypt and highlighted the widely divergent views and educational backgrounds of the two men. Vanessa Davies will discuss how issues raised in the Du Bois/Petrie correspondence relate to contemporary concerns about the purpose of education in the twenty-first century.
Presented by Harvard Semitic Museum with support from the Marcella Tilles Memorial Fund.
