Published: August 6, 2025 | 80th Anniversary of Hiroshima

In this powerful and moving launch episode of Give Peace A Chance, recorded ahead of the historic HOPE80 Peace Tour, host Adrian Beckingham gathers five extraordinary individuals for an unforgettable roundtable conversation on remembrance, reconciliation, and the urgent call for peace in our time.

Joining Adrian are five international peace delegates, each with a deeply personal connection to global conflict and healing:

• Ven. Ryokyu Endo – Founder of the Flame of Hope, a flame first lit from the embers of post-bomb Hiroshima and now carried worldwide as a symbol of peace.

• Lawrence Lefcort – Executive Director of Flame of Hope International, championing global remembrance through action and solidarity.

• Lucy Sandys – Great-granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill, and a spokesperson for HOPE80, reflecting on legacy, truth, and the next generation’s role in peacekeeping.

• Jennifer Teege – Granddaughter of SS Commandant Amon Göth and author of My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me. As a Black German woman discovering her lineage, Jennifer speaks with rare insight into inherited trauma and personal transformation.

• Alice Dalsass – European Ambassador for Flame of Hope International, bringing youthful determination and coordination to the global movement for peace.

Together, this gathering of voices explores what it means to hold both memory and responsibility in a world still grappling with division and war. From Hiroshima to Gaza, Ukraine to London, they explore the deep personal stories and global stakes that define this moment in history.

This special episode honours those lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and offers a living flame of hope for generations to come.
