How do we talk about parts of human history that are so incredibly traumatic that we want to avoid it, but we must teach others about it? How do we learn from our dark places?
Jonathan Yuen's 2000 memorial website of the nuclear bombing of Japan to end WWII touches these difficult places. He presents this material at a pace determined by the person browsing it, allowing that information to unfold in a way like a book, but not (it is the web, after all).
Yuen's website, a thesis project, allows us to read the terrible poetry of annihilation that can come from war.
