There are about 350 Holocaust museums in the world and among them the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem in Israel are famous.
But did you know Japan has this kind of facility, too?
The Holocaust Education Center in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture was built in 1995 and houses items related to the Holocaust that have been donated from around the world.
Mr.Otsuka has been going to church since he was a child.
As his pastor's way of living made a deep impression on him, he too became a pastor.
A turning point in his life came when he visited Netanya in Israel in 1971 as a member of a chorus group.
An old man came to speak to him in English when he was about to take lunch with other group members in a restaurant.
"You are Japanese, aren't you?
Would you plese sing a Japanese song?"
After Mr.Otsuka and his group finished singing, the gentleman thanked them for it and began to talk.
"You probably know the diary which my daughter wrote, don't you?
I'm the father of Anne Frank."
After this opportunity, a dialog between Mr.Otsuka and Mr.Frank began.
"Peace will be born from mutual understanding.
Please be a person who can do something to create peace in the world; do not only sympathize with the tragic death of Anne and other victims."
Mr.Otsuka was moved by what Mr. Frank said and went to Israel to study Hebrew.
He visited the concentration camps in Europe because he wanted to know more about the Jews and the Holocaust.
Six million Jews are said to have lost their lives because of the Holocaust.
Mr. Otsuka was shocked to know that among them were 1.5 million children.
Since he wanted to show exhibits to Japanese children, he made up his mind to built a memorial center in Japan.
Otsuka wrote letters explaining that he had little money for his project but plenty of passion and sent them to lots of people involved in the Holocaust and various facilities.
After a while, packages came to him from all over the world : an inmate's uniform, a box containing ashes, and so on.
Someone handed him a passport that was a memento of their family, and one painter offered pictures he had painted of the camp, saying, "You may take any pictures you like."
Mr. Frank donated pictures of his family and some of the everyday items they had used.
To make the exhibits accessible to everyone, Otsuka put English and furigana above every kanji character used in the explanations.
A new building was opened in 2007.
The room in which Anne hid and her diary were reproduced there.
These are the only approved reproductions outside of Europe.
After the death of Mr. Frank, one of his typewriters was given to the center and is now exhibited, too.
Approximately 12,000 visitors have come to the center in the year since the new building was opened, twice the number before the renewal.
All sorts of people, from kindergarten pupils to adults, visit the Holocaust Education Center.
"This is a facility where not only will you learn the truth about the Holocaust, but you will also think about what you yourself can do to make peace for the world," Otsuka says.
"I never heard Mr. Erank say anything hateful.
I have been continuously questioning in my heart why the Holocaust occurred.
Students from over 700 schools have visited the Holocaust Education Center.
I hope all the children in Japan will visit it, and also wish that this center will be a place from which they are sending peace to the world, " Otsuka says.
