Countless people plunged into this inner moat to escape the flames and died there. On the far side of the wooden bridge over the moat is the Hiroshima Army Elementary schoolyard. To its right are the still intact walls of the school. In the background stands the camouflaged Hiroshima Communications Bureau. |
