| Description | A photo exposed to the atomic bombing Donated by FUKUHARA Shintaro 2,500 m from the hypocenter Dambara-hinode-cho TSUBONAKA Sachiyo (then, 27) experienced the atomic bombing at home. Her family members survived the bombing, but outside her house people who had glass pieces showered on their bodies were calling for help. Because she was giving first-aid treatment to some injured people at home, the wounded came to gather at her home. Sachiyo continued to give treatment while encouraging them, saying, “Don’t give up! Hang in there!!” This photo that was exposed to the bombing in a drawer of a chest at her home has been carefully kept by Sachiyo. Excerpt from a talk of the donor (Sachiyo’s grandchild) “My grandmother, who is the type of person that is unable to leave a person in affliction alone, seemed to do her best in continuing to give first-aid treatment. After the war, she rarely talked about the atomic bombing. One day, she suddenly murmured, “That's a shame” when she and I passed by a river (in which many corpses were flowing immediately after the atomic bombing). Her words left an impression on me.” |
