SUMMARY:Connections: Concord and the WWII Bombing of Japan
DESCRIPTION:The city of Concord holds remarkable—and often overlooked—connections to the bombing of Japan during World War II. Most\, if not all\, of the munitions ultimately dropped on Japanese cities were stored and handled at what is now the Concord Naval Weapons Station. The destructiveness of the bombs were felt locally in 1943\, when the Port Chicago explosion shook Concord and surrounding communities with devastating force.\nIn the years before and after the war\, Concord was also home to survivors of the bombings in Japan. Health permitting\, one or more of these residents\, some nowcentenarian\, may be available to share their firsthand experiences\, offering an extraordinary living link to this history. \n  \nConcord Historical Society \npresents \nSpeakers Series with Don Seta \nJune 14\, 2026 – 2:00PM \nConcord Museum and Event Center \n1928 Clayton Road \nFREE \nParking behind the building on Marina Ct. \n  \n Download Flyer
