Kampei Shimoide, left, mayor of Minamikyushu, speaks during a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo, Wednesday, May 13, 2015. The Japanese city's plan to seek UNESCO recognition for its collection of documents related to its role as a launching base for "kamikaze" suicide attacks in the desperate last months of World War II is raising questions over how such memories should be preserved.
