...The Atomic Bombing Experience of Joji Fukahori...
When the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, he was working as a student volunteer at the Mitsubishi Shipyard Machinery Factory, which had been relocated to Nagasaki Junior High School, 3.3 km from the hypocenter. His mother, two younger brothers, one in his first year of junior high school and one in his fifth year of elementary school, and his five-year-old sister, were killed in the bombing about 600 meters from the hypocenter. We will continue to share the truth about the atomic bombing so that Japan will never again wage war and so that its people will never again be forced to make such great sacrifices.
