\nJe suis n\u00e9e moins de sept ans apr\u00e8s les deux d\u00e9flagrations qui ont fait glisser encore un peu plus l\u2019esp\u00e8ce humaine vers la barbarie. Aussi loin que je me rappelle, les mots \u00ab\u00a0bombe atomique\u00a0\u00bb faisaient partie de mon vocabulaire d\u2019enfant\u00a0: sans doute s\u2019agissait-il pour moi d\u2019une tr\u00e8s grosse bombe. Je savais vaguement qu\u2019il y avait eu une guerre, mes parents l\u2019avaient connue, mais cela se passait tellement, tellement loin, bien avant ma naissance\u2026<\/strong>
\nI was born less than seven years after the two explosions which dragged the human race even further into barbarism. As far as I can remember, the words \u00ab\u00a0atomic bom\u00a0\u00bb were part of my childhood vocabulary: I think it was a very big bomb to me. I vaguely knew there had been a war, my parents had known it, but it happened so, so far away, long before I was born …

Tsutomu Yamaguchi<\/a> se trouvait \u00e0 Hiroshima le 6 ao\u00fbt 1945, et \u00e0 Nagasaki le 9 ao\u00fbt : encore une fois je ne connais pas de mot dans le domaine de l’horreur pour \u00e9voquer ce qu’il a ressenti. Le malheureux \u00e9tait pr\u00e9sent lors du largage des deux bombes atomiques, celles dont on se demande encore aujourd’hui si elles avaient r\u00e9ellement aid\u00e9 \u00e0 faire capituler le Japon, d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 genoux. Alors qu\u2019il avait des br\u00fblures, l\u2019ou\u00efe et la vue affect\u00e9es par la premi\u00e8re explosion, Tsutomu Yamaguchi \u00e9tait retourn\u00e9 chez lui, \u00e0 Nagasaki \u2014 terrible rendez-vous. En d\u00e9couvrant ce destin tragique, on se demande s\u2019il a eu de la chance ou s\u2019il en a singuli\u00e8rement manqu\u00e9.<\/strong>
\nTsutomu Yamaguchi<\/a> was in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and in Nagasaki on August 9: again I do not know a word in the field of horror to evoke what he felt. The unfortunate man was present during the dropping of the two atomic bombs, those which we still wonder today if they had really helped to make Japan capitulate, already on its knees. With burns, hearing and eyesight affected by the first explosion, Tsutomu Yamaguchi returned to his home in Nagasaki \u2014 a terrible date. Discovering this tragic fate, one wonders if he was lucky or if he was singularly unlucky.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Arte lui a consacr\u00e9 un reportage<\/a>.<\/strong>
\nArte devoted a report<\/a> to him.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi est rest\u00e9 un demi-si\u00e8cle mur\u00e9 dans son silence, puis il s\u2019est mis \u00e0 raconter, raconter inlassablement l\u2019insoutenable, t\u00e9moignant contre la folie des hommes.<\/strong>
\nTsutomu Yamaguchi remained half a century walled in his silence, then he began to recount, tirelessly recount the unbearable, testifying against the madness of men.

Les hibakusha<\/a> sont des personne affect\u00e9es par la bombe ou, plus r\u00e9cemment des personnes affect\u00e9es par l’exposition, nous dit Wikip\u00e9dia. \u201cHibakusha est un emprunt linguistique d’origine japonaise qui d\u00e9signe g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement les victimes des bombardements atomiques d\u2019Hiroshima et Nagasaki les 6 et 9 ao\u00fbt 1945 sous les ordres de Harry S. Truman.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\nHibakusha<\/a> are people affected by the bomb, or more recently people affected by exposure, Wikipedia tells us. \u201cHibakusha is a language loan of Japanese origin that generally refers to the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945 under the orders of Harry S. Truman.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Parmi eux, nombreux sont ceux qui ont consacr\u00e9 leur vie \u00e0 la lutte contre le nucl\u00e9aire sous toutes ses formes.<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Outre la grande pr\u00e9carit\u00e9 physique, m\u00e9dicale et financi\u00e8re, les hibakusha ont \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes de fortes discriminations\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> nous dit encore Wikip\u00e9dia. Ils \u00e9taient suspects d\u2019\u00eatre porteurs de maladies inconnues, myst\u00e9rieuses, contagieuses peut-\u00eatre. Leur vie a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truite ce 6 ao\u00fbt ou ce 9 ao\u00fbt. Ils \u00e9taient les nouveaux pestif\u00e9r\u00e9s.<\/strong>
\nAmong them, many are those who have dedicated their lives to the fight against nuclear power in all its forms.<\/strong><\/span>
\n \u00ab\u00a0In addition to the great physical, medical and financial precariousness, the hibakusha have been victims of strong discrimination,\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> Wikipedia also tells us. They were suspected of being carriers of unknown, mysterious, perhaps contagious diseases. Their lives were destroyed on August 6 or August 9. They were the new plague victims.

De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, Kenzaburo O\u00e9<\/a> a beaucoup \u0153uvr\u00e9, et il \u0153uvre encore contre le nucl\u00e9aire.<\/strong>

\u00ab\u00a0Comme les tremblements de terre, les tsunamis et d’autres calamit\u00e9s naturelles, l’exp\u00e9rience d’Hiroshima doit \u00eatre grav\u00e9e dans la m\u00e9moire humaine: c’\u00e9tait une catastrophe encore plus dramatique que ces catastrophes naturelles pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment parce qu’elle \u00e9tait d’origine humaine. R\u00e9p\u00e9ter l\u2019erreur en exhibant, \u00e0 travers la construction de r\u00e9acteurs nucl\u00e9aires, le m\u00eame manque de respect pour la vie humaine est la pire trahison possible de la m\u00e9moire des victimes d\u2019Hiroshima.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> Kenzaburo O\u00e9
\n\u00ab\u00a0Like earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural calamities, the experience of Hiroshima should be etched into human memory: it was even more dramatic a catastrophe than those natural disasters precisely because it was man-made. To repeat the error by exhibiting, through the construction of nuclear reactors, the same disrespect for human life is the worst possible betrayal of the memory of Hiroshima\u2019s victims.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>\u00a0Kenzaburo O\u00e9

Un de ses livres, \u00ab\u00a0notes de Hiroshima\u00a0\u00bb, n\u2019est pas un roman. L\u2019auteur s\u2019est rendu \u00e0 Hiroshima \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de la Neuvi\u00e8me conf\u00e9rence contre les armes nucl\u00e9aires. La prise de conscience qu\u2019il fait l\u00e0-bas va d\u00e9terminer la suite de son \u0153uvre, son soutien ind\u00e9fectible aux grands oubli\u00e9s de l\u2019histoire, victimes pass\u00e9es pr\u00e9sentes et \u00e0 venir.<\/strong>
\nOne of his books, \u00ab\u00a0notes de Hiroshima\u00a0\u00bb, is not a novel. The author visited Hiroshima for the Ninth Conference Against Nuclear Weapons. His awareness there will determine the rest of his work, his unwavering support for the great forgotten people of history, victims of the past, present and future.

Ici, les poissons continuent de mener leur existence p\u00e9p\u00e8re de poissons dans le bassin o\u00f9 je les nourris deux fois par jour. Inqui\u00e8te de les voir chercher de l\u2019air, j\u2019ai install\u00e9 dans le bassin une pompe et les voil\u00e0 contents.<\/strong>

Comme les autres ann\u00e9es, nous avions des rendez-vous par HelpX ou Workaway, mais le confinement avait tout arr\u00eat\u00e9. Cependant, nous sommes rest\u00e9s en contact avec Julie.<\/strong>
\nLike the other years, we had appointments by HelpX or Workaway, but the confinement had stopped everything. However, we kept in touch with Julie.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Et finalement, elle vient avec sa fille Zo\u00e9 d\u00e9couvrir les joies du d\u00e9sherbage, des r\u00e9coltes et des compotes de fruits.<\/strong>
\nAnd finally, she comes with her daughter Zo\u00e9 to discover the joys of weeding, harvests and fruit compotes.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Julie est russe, son mari am\u00e9ricain, et la famille vit en Allemagne\u00a0: ils parlent donc anglais et allemand, mais aussi russe, pour ne pas oublier. Moi j\u2019aime les \u00e9couter parler, la langue russe est une si belle musique\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nJulie is Russian, her husband American, and the family lives in Germany: so they\u00a0 speak English and German, but also Russian, so as not to forget. I like to listen to them talk, the Russian language is such a beautiful music!\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous avons toujours beaucoup \u00e0 faire\u00a0: un apr\u00e8s-midi, Paul accompagne Julie et Zo\u00e9 pour visiter Cr\u00e9mieu, mais les autres jours elles se baladent sans nous. Pleines d\u2019\u00e9nergie, elles vont \u00e0 pied \u00e0 Passins, et font plusieurs balades en v\u00e9lo.<\/strong>
\nWe always have a lot to do: one afternoon, Paul accompanies Julie and Zo\u00e9 to visit Cr\u00e9mieu, but the other days they go for a walk without us. Full of energy, they go on foot to Passins, and take several bike rides.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La plus longue leur fait d\u00e9couvrir la r\u00e9gion, Zo\u00e9 semble \u00e9puis\u00e9e apr\u00e8s soixante kilom\u00e8tres\u00a0! Mais le lendemain, elles ont une occasion pour passer la journ\u00e9e \u00e0 Grenoble, profitant de la voiture de Jean-Paul, et elles marchent pendant des heures.<\/strong>
\nThe longest takes them to discover the region, Zo\u00e9 seems exhausted after sixty kilometers! But the next day, they have an opportunity to spend the day in Grenoble, enjoying Jean-Paul’s car, and they walk for hours.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Au jardin, cette ann\u00e9e il y a des fruits \u00e0 ne plus savoir qu\u2019en faire\u2026 Nous avons eu la visite d\u2019Olivier qui est reparti avec des cagettes de pommes et de prunes, et qui nous a envoy\u00e9 la photo des tartes qu\u2019il a faites avec ces fruits. Ici, Julie et Zo\u00e9 trient des pommes pour la compote mais aussi pour les d\u00e9shydrater.<\/strong>
\nIn the garden, this year there are fruits that you don’t know what to do with … We had a visit from Olivier who left with crates of apples and plums, and who sent us the photo of the pies he made with these fruits.

Elles d\u00e9sherbent deux massifs de fleurs abandonn\u00e9s depuis longtemps. Cela permet \u00e0 Paul de faire un long arrosage car c\u2019est de nouveau la s\u00e9cheresse.<\/strong>
\nThey weed two long abandoned flower beds. This allows Paul to do a long watering as it’s drought again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Grimp\u00e9e sur l\u2019\u00e9chelle, Zo\u00e9 se fait un plaisir de faire tomber les prunes sur sa m\u00e8re ; la r\u00e9colte est encore une fois tr\u00e8s abondante.<\/strong>

Yves also has plans for meetings, a bit like our \u00ab\u00a0kalyneries paulifauniques\u00a0\u00bb. Meetings-debates? It reminds me of Annabelle and Arnaud and their wish, if memory serves, for reading evenings. So many projects are possible. These suggestions motivate me strongly, I really want to see certain projects come true.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
