Mysterious photograph

Dear all,

 to help you get through the Christmas holidays we decided to post this tricky, yet interesting photograph. Indeed, we have very limited information about it; none of the individuals in the photograph were identified and the event remains unknown. Only the painting of Marx and several writings in Cyrillic alphabet are hinting our research towards the USSR and GDR. Additionally, a similar photograph with Rotblat appearing in it lets us believe the event took place in the 1970s.

Do you have information about the photograph ?

If you do, please leave a comment beneath the blog post or email us at pugwashphotoarchive@gmail.com, quoting 'pht 067'.

Thank you! 

Pugwash members in front on the United Baptist Church

 In this photograph, possibly dated in the 1970s, we were able to identify part of the location, namely, United Baptist Church, which indicates the event is most likely taking place in a North-American country.

Additionally, in the same event we identified these four men next to C.S Eaton and Prof. E. Rabinowitch.

Do you have any information about the people involved or the nature of the event?

If you do, please send us an email at pugwashphotoarchive.gmail.com (quoting pht 091) or leave a comment beneath the post.

日本からこんにちは！Hello from Japan!

The first two monochrome photographs show Joseph Rotblat in Japan, possibly Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture as seen from the Daibutsu statue on the left. We are able to identify Rotblat with Professor Iwao Ogawa, who was among the 21 scientists participating in the first Pugwash Conference in 1957. We think this photo was taken in 1957 when Rotblat was invited by Hideki Yukawa to a radiology conference in Tokyo.  

Can you identify the woman in the first set of photos on the right?

In the next two coloured photographs, Rotblat is seen again in Kamakura with Ogawa. We think this was a personal visit sometime in the 1970s.

When do you think these photos were taken, and for what purposes?

If you have any information, please email us at pugwashphotoarhive@gmail.com and quote 'Early Pugwash in Japan', or leave a comment below. 

Thank you! 

28th Conference in Varna, Bulgaria (1978)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Who can you identify in this group photo from the 28th Conference in Varna, Bulgaria (1978)?

In addition to Joseph Rotblat, we think we can identify Kaplan, who is third from the left in the front row, and fifth from the left could be Essam Galal.

Maciej Nalecz (1970s)

The first person on the far right is Maciej Nalecz.

Maciej Nalecz joined Pugwash in 1972. He attended 74 events, including conferences, symposiums and workshops.

Do you recognise anybody else?

Do you know which meeting this was?

We think that the person on the far left of the front row is Ogunlade Davidson. If so could it have been the 31st Conference Arms Limitations: The Search for Peace in a World in Crisis in Banff, Canada, 1981?

Thanks!
