Situation |
We had assembled at the school to set out for work on building demolition. There was a dazzling flash and a noise that seemed to shudder up from the bowels of the earth. Then it went totally dark. People who had come seeking refuge were continually forming lines at the school. After that I went to the East Parade Ground. In November 2000, I visited the Hiroshima Peace Museum for the first time. Memories flooded up that before I had not wanted to recall, and I cried endlessly. |
