SETSUKO THURLOW was thirteen years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on
Hiroshima, the city she grew up in. Setsuko survived the blast, but that event
shaped her life, as she worked tirelessly to make sure that no one would ever again
experience that horrific event.

Setsuko has devoted her adult life to campaigning for nuclear
disarmament, working with the organization ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish
Nuclear Weapons, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. Setsuko lives
in Toronto, Canada.
