Su05M An Interview with Yoko Ooyama: A Survivor’s Story of the Tokyo Firebombing (Zoom Only)

Zoom | Registration opens 6/30/2026 10:00 AM EDT

[NEW CLASS] Yoko Ooyama, a former OLLI member, survived two of the devastating March 9-10, 1945 firebombing raids on Tokyo. Several years ago, fellow OLLI member Dick Scott recorded an interview with Yoko — the only recording of her experience that exists. In this session, Dick will share that recording, and we’ll listen to Yoko recount her harrowing memories of the attacks in her own words. As time permits, recollections from other survivors will also be presented. Come hear this rare first-hand account and other fascinating stories from history.  Audio/Visual, Discussion, Lecture
