Description | Treating the injured August 8, 1945 Ichiro Kono (22 at time of bombing, 79 at time of drawing) [Notes from the artist] From the notes of Haruko Fukai in the A-bomb Survivor Testimony Memories of the Atomic Bomb (Second Edition) by the Association of the Geihokucho Atomic Bomb Survivors As a nurse, I treated the injured. There were people with giant blisters on their backs and even some people whose facial injuries had provided a place for flies to lay eggs which had become pupae. People whose bodies were burned black were laid in a line. |
