Description | The bodies of mobilized students piled up along the river Drawing / Akino Yasuda August 7, 1945 Approx. 620m from the hypocenter Shin-ohashi Bridge (now Nishi Heiwa-ohashi Bridge) Engaged in building demolition from Nakajima-shinmachi to Tenjin-machi were nearly 2,000 junior high students and female students from Second Hiroshima Prefectural Junior High School, First Municipal Girls High School, Yasuda Girls High School and other schools. Because this area was close to the hypocenter and the students were working outside, virtually all were lost. |
