Drawing-Text / Midori Harada
Afternoon, August 6, 1945 Approx. 2,700m from the hypocenter Kasumi-cho (now Kasumi 1-chome)
"We accommodated the injured, many of whom had barely made it to our door, in the warehouse. Soon, the sun was setting. At night, we had no light and could offer no treatment. All personnel in the Nedical division were ordered to withdraw. I continued to give treatment because some injured people begged me for help. 'I couldn't get anything yesterday. Please take care of me today.' Then I was loudly scolded by the team leader. 'The medical staff are now the top priority. What will happen if you harm your health?' I left, plugging my ears, feeling as if I were leaving my hearts behind." Excerpt from the explanation in the drawing
