Description | Uncle faintly calling aunt 1,700 m from the hypocenter, Hiroshima City Credit Union Headquarters, Yokogawa-cho 3-chome Yukiko Migitani (20 at the time of the bombing, 77 when she drew this picture) Artist's explanation Face burned by the flash, swollen and gray. Peeling and red, skin hanging from arms. You could not recognize anyone injured like that. "Ma, Ma?" a faint voice called. Aunt replied, staring, "Who are you?" "It's me. It's me." "Pa? You've really been burned, haven't you?" With no medicine to put on the burns, the best she could do was find water and keep him cool. Maybe because he felt more secure, his condition worsened quickly. He breathed his last four hours later. |
