| Description | A beam had fallen across this girl's arm. The fire came, and I was unable to get her out. Drawing and text / Yoshinori Kato Around 10:30 a.m., August 6, 1945 Approx. 2,160m from the hypocenter Kanaya-cho (now, Matoba-cho) "I was desperate to save at least this one girl. When I spoke to her, she opened her eyes and said faintly, 'My arm hurts.' Then she closed her eyes again. The large beam over her head began to burn." Excerpt from his memoir |
