| Situation | Ms. Sako was exposed to the A-bombing in the Hiroshima Regional Monopoly Bureau at Minami-machi, 2.3 km away from the hypocenter. She fled to Hijiyama hill with her colleagues. She wandered around the burned city relying on the streetcars’ railways. She has never told her experience even to her family as the memories of that time brought her so much pain. However, as she is getting older, she decided to tell her story thinking that there is little time left for the testimony. |
