Babies against nuclear war

So there's an awesome story to go with this grainy cellphone picture:


This is Hannah with Shigeko Sasamori, one of the original Hiroshima Maidens. On Sunday, we went to hear a talk by some atomic bomb survivors (you know, like you do on Mother's Day). One minute after we walked in the door, this elderly Japanese woman came out of nowhere and picked up Hannah and said, "Beautiful baby! Everyone loves you so much! This is why we must work for peace!" and then took her away. The official group photo from this event now features the seven survivors, their translators and Hannah.
