Viewing Notes

Damn.

Such a horrifying and tragic story. Devastating at every turn. Incredible what these kids have to endure when the bomb drops on Hiroshima. Should be required viewing for all students studying history. Also pairs rather well with Japan’s Longest Day showing the events from victims POV.
