A statement on the activities of the Committee to Review the Translation of Records of the Nagasaki Bombing and Wartime Damage
In 2006, the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims began work on an English translation of Volume 1 of the Revised Critical Edition of Records of the Nagasaki Atomic Bombing and Wartime Damage (a book originally published by Nagasaki City in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the bombing) in order to convey the realities of the damages caused by the bombing to people around the world.
For the release of the translated version of this important literary work, it was deemed necessary to conduct an evaluation of the English wording used to translate specific terms related to the atomic bombing, the wartime situation, historical conditions and cultural aspects, as well as that for proper names of governmental bodies or institutions of the day. For this purpose, the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims assembled the noted experts listed below to form the Committee to Review the Translation of Records of the Nagasaki Bombing and Wartime Damage, under whose supervision translation work on this volume then proceeded.
