在美国，人们通常认为对广岛和长崎的核轰炸是结束对日战争的必要条件。另一方面，也有美国民众纪念原子弹爆炸遇难者。本文探讨了美国人如何以及为什么纪念广岛和长崎的原子弹受害者。在解释了美国官方的叙述之后，本文探讨了美国三个地方纪念活动的案例研究：俄勒冈州阿什兰的广岛和长崎守夜活动;纽约市一年一度的原子弹受害者跨宗教仪式;以及旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区的灯笼仪式。虽然它们在许多方面不同，但它们有一个共同的功能：：将广岛-长崎的经验“本地化”，以便在美国传播。本文通过对当地纪念活动的考察，阐述了他们为使广岛-长崎的苦难经历更好地为美国人所熟悉所做的努力和所面临的困境。
In the United States, the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are often considered necessary to have ended its war against Japan. On the other hand, there are also American people who commemorate the victims of the atomic bombings. This article examines how and why people in the United States commemorate the A-bomb victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After explaining the official US narratives, this article explores as case studies three local commemorations in the United States: the vigil for Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Ashland, Oregon; the annual interfaith ceremony for A-bomb victims in New York City; and the lantern ceremony in the San Francisco Bay Area. While they are different in many ways, they share a common feature: “localization” of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki experience to disseminate it in the United States. Through looking into the local commemorative events, this article elucidates their efforts and the dilemma of making the Hiroshima-Nagasaki experience of suffering more familiar to people in the United States.
