"Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight"

Chiyono Shoji Hamer’s resilience knows no bounds. At the tender age of nine, she endured the horrors of the atomic bomb dropped over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Her daughter, Susan Woollen, recounts her remarkable journey in "Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight," weaving a narrative that extends beyond personal survival to encompass broader themes of war’s devastation, the specter of nuclear weapons, and the migration of Japanese War Brides to the United States. Susan Woollen, Museum docent, LEAD training facilitator, and Second-Generation Speakers’ Bureau member, joined us to share Chiyono’s story, delving into the depths of wartime suffering while painting vivid portraits of Japanese traditions, culture, and history – a profound exploration of resilience in the face of adversity.
