Situation On the morning of the 6th, I was exposed to the atomic bomb while working in the passenger car of a freight train to Itozaki whose departure time was 08:20 although I had been supposed to board another train. I took refuge in the East Parade Ground and returned to my workplace in the afternoon when I was instructed to return home. My mother was safe at home but my second daughter was missing, so I spent several days in the city looking for her. I was never able to find her.
