Many public events marking the 1945 atomic bombings in Japan have been cancelled, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But some survivors of the attacks have found a new way to share their stories with young people. They are reaching out to kids online.

This year marks 75 years since the fierce Battle of Okinawa in the closing stages of World War Two, which claimed more than 200,000 lives. The coronavirus outbreak has given some the survivors no choice but to share their experiences online rather than face-to-face.

The event was organized by the Japan Veterans Video Archive Project that records the testimonies of survivors.

A growing number of students in Okinawa says they have no one around them to tell them what really happened in the southwestern Japanese prefecture during World War Two.

More than 1,600 students in their second year of high school in Okinawa responded to a once-in-five-year survey done by a local research group.
