Japanese War Memorials Unite to Pass on Memories to Youth
Tokyo, July 2 (Jiji Press)--A total of 13 Japanese war-related facilities have unveiled initiatives to preserve and pass on wartime memories to younger generations to commemorate the 80th anniversary this year of the end of World War II. At a press conference in Tokyo on Tuesday, the 13 national or municipal memorial halls across Japan announced future action plans designed to solve problems such as securing the number of visitors to their facilities and dealing with the declining number of people who experienced the war. Specifically, they will work on strengthening their capabilities to disseminate information, provide contents for schools that combine exhibits and testimony records from each facility and build a system of mutual cooperation among curators. The press conference was attended by 13 representatives from member facilities of a Japanese war-related memorials network established in 2023, including the Maizuru Repatriation Memorial Museum in Kyoto Prefecture, western Japan, and the Chiran Peace Museum in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan. "There is a limit to the activities of a single museum, and it is difficult to rely on elderly storytellers," Hiroshi Masuda, head of the Memorial Museum for Soldiers, Detainees in Siberia, and Postwar Repatriates, said at the press conference.

On Tuesday, North Korea's state media broadcast footage of the leader leaning over the coffins of soldiers who died in that fight, marking the first time Kim had openly displayed his regime's role in aiding Russia's war.

Ukraine received at least 20 bodies of Russian soldiers in recent exchanges, Zelenskyy says
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine's president said that Russia repatriated at least 20 of its own dead soldiers in recent exchanges with Ukraine, describing it as a result of Moscow's disorganization in carrying out large swaps of wounded POWs and remains of troops. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that an Israeli citizen was among the dead Ukraine had received in recent exchanges. He spoke to journalists on Friday but his comments were embargoed until Saturday. Officials did not disclose the identities of the bodies.
