Tsunami-hit Fukushima school opens as memorial to 2011 tragedy

An elementary school in northeastern Japan opened on Sunday as a memorial to those impacted by the massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster and subsequent Fukushima nuclear crisis, with its mission to pass on lessons learned from the tragedy. Ukedo Elementary School, run by the town of Namie in Fukushima Prefecture, is the first memorial in the prefecture that preserves buildings in their damaged state. Located 300 meters from the coast, the municipal school was hit by a 15-meter-high tsunami. A total of 95 students, teachers and employees who were at the school when the quake struck survived after fleeing to higher ground.
