Hiroshima a-bomb
I found a couple of articles on the effects of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
The first shows photos of the aftermath of the bomb.
The second is a translated story from a Japanese doctor who survivied the bombing.
These are just two reminders of why such wars and bombs should never be used again. It also gives me a little more insight into what happened to my Mom and her people. I sometimes wish she had told me her story, but she never would speak about it except for a few minor details before she died.
And I am not going to discuss the pros/cons of this or any war. The Japanese at the time did their own attrocities, as did many other nations. I just wanted to link to these two articles for anyone else who wants to look at them, and for my own memory in the future.
