| Description | Mother and child trapped under collapsed house Drawing-Text/ Kazuo Matsumuro Around 9:00 a.m. August 6, 1945 Approx. 1,100m from the hypocenter Tanaka-machi "Please save us! We're in here! Please save us!"From an opening under her collapsed house, a young mother desperately waved her free arm to attract attention. In her other arm she clutched a daughter who appeared to be about five. Compelled by the little girl's crazed shrieks, I approached the house. But holding myself erect was all I could do. I walked away, as if escaping from them. When I looked back, the house trapping those two was swallowed in flames. |
