| Description | A bridge filled with fleeing survivors 1,400 m from the hypocenter, Sumiyoshi Bridge August 6, 1945, before 2:00 p.m. Hisao Kato (16 at the time of the bombing, 73 when he drew this picture) Explanation in picture The Sumiyoshi Bridge walkway was full of men and women resting after making it that far. A middle-aged woman screaming for help is burned into my eyes. Her image remains in the back of my mind, held by remorse that I did not try to help her. |
