Description Kikue Dohi (then, 12) was a first-year student at First Hiroshima Prefectural Girls High School. She was exposed to the bombing while working at her demolition site. Her mother Atsuko, her younger brother Taisuke and other family members searched for Kikue, who had not come home. Her whereabouts are still unknown. This handbook was found in an air-raid shelter where Kikue stayed at some point. Her family always treasured it as a final keepsake.
