Situation |
Ms. Yamanaka was exposed to the A-bombing at Kako-machi, about 1.4 km away from the hypocenter.
At that moment, she felt as if the sun had fallen onto her head. Although she was trapped under the collapsed building, a man kindly released her that enabled her to flee for her life.
Suffering from various sorts of illness and prejudices, Ms. Yamanaka regards telling her experience as her mission. She wishes that every leader of the world would come to Hiroshima. |
