Description | Please save mom 1,300m from the hypocenter Temma-cho August 6, 1945 Drawn by Akira Onogi (age 15 at the time of the bombing) [Excerpt of artist comment] A young girl was sobbing beside her mother, who was trapped underneath a collapsed building. “Please save mom,” she pleaded with her neighbors. Three men attempted to shift the fallen pillar, but to no avail. The fire was drawing closer every minute, and there was nothing we could do but pray for forgiveness and leave. |
