Kathleen Burkinshaw / Author of The Last Cherry Blossom / Daughter of Hiroshima Survivor - a podcast by Yen & Allison

Episode No.19 - Kathleen Burkinshaw / Author of The Last Cherry Blossom / Daughter of Hiroshima Survivor 

August 6, 2020 marked the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We had the honor of sitting down with Kathleen Burkinshaw who is the daughter of a Hiroshima Survivor and the author of The Last Cherry Blossom. The book is based on her mother's experience as a 12 year old child during the Hiroshima bombing. 

We got to deep dive into Kathleen's Big 5, talked about what it's like to have her book used as a resource for Nuclear Disarmament by The United Nations and learned more about her mother's life after the bombing. 

This episode was very near and dear to Allison's heart because she got an opportunity to exchange her experiences with Kathleen who shares her Japanese-American heritage. 

Be sure to get your copy of The Last Cherry Blossom on Amazon
