.
On this day in 1945, a
four-engine B-29 aircraft with an aluminum exterior gleaming like silver in the
sunshine, dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The city was
constructed mostly of wood and rice paper buildings and the blast of the bomb,
being hotter than the surface of the sun, caused the entire city to burn with
massive losses of life. The second of two uses of The Bomb – the first on
August 6, 1945, on Hiroshima – it was this second bomb that would finally
compel the Emperor of Japan to stop the warlords who controlled the government.
Japan surrendered unconditionally to the United States and the Allies, with an
unpublicized provision that the Emperor would remain as head of state, but not
head of government.
.
It put an end to the Second World
War, which had begun in irrevocable stages with the Japanese invasion of
Manchuria in 1931 and the German and Soviet invasions of Poland in 1939.
.
Today, Germany and Japan are both
thriving democracies, following reconstruction of their ruined economies and
postwar constitutions based on election of leaders by their populations. Poland
was finally freed of Soviet military occupation in 1993, after gaining
independence again in 1989. And Germany was partitioned by the victorious
Allies, and only reunited in modern times. The story of Eastern Europe, through
the ethnic wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, tragically demonstrates that the
idea World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945 is quite naive.
.
At least 60 million people were
killed during the years of conflict of World War II, roughly 2.5% of the
world’s population. Modern computer studies have raised that to an estimate of
71 to 72 million. The Soviet Union lost somewhere between 21 million and 26.6
million dead; China lost 11.3 million; Poland 6.8 million; the U.S. 500,000. Germany
lost 7 million dead (8.8 million if all those drafted into the German military
from all countries are counted); Germany lost 8 to 10% of its prewar
population, and 19.5% of all prewar ethnic Germans died. Plus, the Nazis
murdered 6 million Jews and at least 5 million additional “undesirables.”
.
Japan lost 2.6 to 3.1 million people
killed, or 3.6 to 4.3% of its pre-war population. Of those, the official
estimates of 90,000 to 166,000 deaths in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 in
Nagasaki are regarded as conservative estimates. Many who were initially
wounded or burned in the atomic blasts died later of radiation poisoning, and
the above numbers, though probably low, reflect that (many sources were
consulted; those wishing to research atomic deaths and illnesses should check www.atomicarchive.com).
.
The true numbers of human beings
whose lives were ended in World War II will never be known. Revisionist
historians have second-guessed President Truman’s decision to use the atomic
bombs, and that continues to this day. It cannot be argued that the two bombs
ended a war that would have claimed substantially more people dead had that war
continued, especially if had seen a land invasion of Japan by Allied forces. At
the same time, it cannot be argued that survivors of the two bombs suffered
radiation-related maladies that were unknown to humanity before the bombs were
dropped. And it cannot be argued that survivors of any war in any time –
including our own – are traumatized and suffer wounds – visible and invisible –
that affect them and their families for life. It’s worth a few moments to
reflect on that, isn’t it?

Thu, Aug
9, a “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick:
8 pm
Superb double-bill with 2-BIT PALOMINO and MARINA V at the Coffee Gallery
Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena 91001; reservations 626-798-6236 (10 am-10 pm); venue phone
626-398-7917; info www.coffeegallery.com. (“the venue named in
FolkWorks as L.A.’s best intimate acoustic listening room venue”).
+
Houston,
Texas-based 2-BIT PALOMINO is an acoustic trio, awarded "Vocal Group of
the Year" in 2011 by the Academy of Texas Music. it won't take you long to
figure out why. Aside from their amazing harmonies, their music is emotive,
melodious, thoughtful and lyrical.
+
The trio
is Bill Ward on acoustic guitar,
keyboards and vocals; Andi Renfree
on percussion and vocals; and Peter
"Ren" Renfree on acoustic guitar, mandolin, ukulele and
vocals.
+
"There
is nothing 2-bit about their sound. These performers already sound like they
have been playing together for a long time. You know that is true when the show
seems too short!" - Russell Cushman, The Navasota Current (Oct 22, 2010)
+
It
started under the shade of the Cypress Pond at Mercer Arboretum in Spring, TX
(just north of Houston). The date was March 4th, 2010 and what started as a
songwriting venture quickly turned into a fast moving freight train of musical
performance. 2-Bit Palomino was born and named after the grocery store ponies
that we rode as youths, and allowed our imaginations to run wild.
+
That
offers some idea of what you will find at a 2-Bit Palomino performance. Some
say it’s a chance to let your imagination go to uncharted places.
+
Ward is an accomplished singer-songwriter from
Florida, and his singing and playing have won him many awards at folk festivals
throughout the country. Andi Renfree’s
musical journey started in Austin at the tender age of 17 and has taken her all
over the world. She has penned hundreds of songs, and has had over 40 cuts,
including "The Buffalo Grass" (with her lyrics) recorded by the late Chris LeDoux on his "Horsepower" CD in 2003 on Capitol
Records.
+
MARINA V
is an L.A.-based longtime favorite of the Guide. She is a multiple
award-winning recording artist with a "hauntingly beautiful" voice
(L.A. Times), whose "melodic and passionate music" (The Washington
Post) has been influenced by the Beatles, Tchaikovsky and Tori Amos. Born in
Moscow, Marina came to America at age 15 to pursue her version of the American
Dream. Since then, she has been relentlessly touring and performing all over
the world and has blossomed into a truly renowned international artist.
+
MARINA has
played over 600 shows worldwide, from The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and the
American Embassy in Moscow to clubs from Sydney to Paris. Marina raised $30,000
from her loyal fans to record her new album, “MY STAR.” Produced by Guy Erez (Gypsy Kings), it features guest musicians from KISS and Collective Soul.
+
Marina's
songs have appeared in films, TV shows, ads and games, and she recently won an
award from Sir Bob Geldof in London. Take a look and a listen at
www.MarinaV.com.
Tickets
are $15, a real bargain for this show.
