"Opfer des Atomwahns": 80. Jahrestag Atombombe/Nuklearisierung/Doku "Petra Kelly - Act Now!"

In the organizer's words:

July 16, 1945 changed the history of mankind. The first atomic bomb was detonated in New Mexico as part of the "Manhattan Project" - the Apache in particular were directly affected by the radioactive fall-out. This was followed in August by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The nuclear arms race had devastating consequences for the indigenous peoples. Over a thousand nuclear tests were carried out on the land of the Western Shoshone in Nevada alone.

In the lecture "Nuclearization of Indigenous Land", we will explain the effects of uranium mining and nuclear testing on their land on the Indigenous peoples in Canada and the USA - with a brief digression to the nuclear tests in the Pacific.
