| Description |
The donor's elder sister, Teruyo Hamada (then, 21), was exposed to the bomb at her workplace. On the 8th, her mother Kato (then, 51) found seven charred black remains at Teruyo's burned-out workplace, but she could not identify any of them as Teruyo. She brought these fragments of roof tiles home from that place and always treasured them as a substitute for her daughter's ashes. The donor's younger sister, Takako (then, 12), a first-year student at First Hiroshima Prefectural Girls High School, was also exposed to the bomb at her mobilization worksite. She died on the 7th. Kato lost both of her daughters in the A-bombing. |
