Description This is the story of my younger brother who died due to the A-bombing. He and his friend were exposed to the bomb at the prefectural office. While they were fleeing to Hijiyama Hill, an old lady asked them repeatedly to give her some urine. They had no water to give her, but that didn’t mean they could pee for her. The story was heartbreaking enough to make me understand how thirsty that lady was.
