Description | A-bomb Drawings by Survivors [Artist's comments]Summarized “So cool, so delicious.” At the sight of a cluster of people, I walked up and was amazed to see a working water pump - water was gushing out! By the grace of God, there was clear water for people to pump into each other's hands. However, it contained pieces of sooty grit. People waited for these to drift down to their palms, then sipped the clean water on top. They exclaimed,“So cool, so delicious!”as they talked about the horrendous situation in the city.
