| Description |
The donor's older sister Junko Matsuda (then, 13), a first-year student at Hiroshima Girls Commercial School, was exposed at her building demolition worksite. She threw herself to the ground but nevertheless was badly burned on her fingers and back. She managed to escape to Nigitsu Shrine, where she collapsed. When Junko's family learned where she was, her older brother Hiroo pulled a large cart to the shrine. When he got Junko home, her family nursed her desperately. Nonetheless, on the 24th, as if following her father who died on the 8th, she died saying, “Father, wait for me!” |
