Album #58 by Kseniia FEDOROVA from Malta About the Book The feeling of a dark hole haunted me after my parents passed away.

The country\u2019s parental rights system (Shinken) states that after the separation of the parents it is only one of them who will get the parental rights. This law triggers the act of parental abduction. A partner who is about to split is unilaterally taking a child away from the household and disappears. He\/she registers under a new address and after six months a \u201claw of continuity\u201d applies and the child, like any other estate, belongs to the new property. \u2026 Read more<\/a><\/div><\/li>\n

In an instant, the town was transformed into a sea of fire, and lost everything. After the War, as the leading Peace Memorial City, Hiroshima has arranged for some bomb survivors to become storytellers, and their tragic experiences have been delivered to people around the world.
