That's how l killed
two people.
l gave them water
and they died.
You can't drink
it that fast
when you're completely
dehydrated.
The body gives out.
But l didn't know that.
As l was getting the water,
black rain started falling.
lt covered everything,
turning everything black.
Of course, we didn't know
it was radioactive.
l wanted water
so badly,
but l couldn't speak.
When night came,
it drizzled.
So l licked the water
off the tree and fell asleep.
The next morning,
there was no one alive
around me.
Back then,
during the war,
we had water tanks
for putting out fires.
One after another,
people piled in
to escape the fire.
The tanks were
stuffed with bodies.
l can't describe
what l witnessed.
l don't have the words.
lt's like,
when you burn
a fish on the grill.
That's what they
looked like
to me, as a child.
The boy's face
was swollen.
His eyes were gone.
His body was
completely burned.
His skin was shredded
and falling off.
l couldn't believe
it was my brother.
We used a wooden door
for a stretcher
and looked for help.
My mother tried
to comfort him.
My brother
was fortunate because
he got to hear
my mother's voice
before he went
to heaven.
l found the bones
of two people--
my mother
and my grandmother.
Also, my older sister.
My little brother
and a little sister
and one more brother.
l'm the only one who lived.
We were all Catholics.
Ours was the biggest
Christian church in Asia.
How could they
drop the bomb on us?
lf there's a God...
lt was difficult
to identify the bodies.
As we searched,
we cried, ''Mommy!''
l saw two burnt bodies,
not too far away.
l saw that one of the bodies
had holes where
the eyes should be
and one gold tooth.
My mother had one gold tooth,
so l knew it was her.
''Hurry, l found her!''
l yelled to my sister
My sister said,
''l'm too scared!''
l said, ''Come here now!''
So my sister ran over
Together we looked
at the body
We reached out
and said, ''Mommy!''
Before our eyes,
it crumbled into ashes
''Mommy!''
The only things that moved
in Hiroshima were the flies
circling over the dead.
A godforsaken place
covered with dead bodies.
At first, you feel
completely overwhelmed.
Then you become numb
and you can't feel anything.
One after another,
they died.
At first,
hardly anyone survived.
We needed to make room
for those who could
be saved.
l walked among
all the dead bodies
looking for someone
who was alive.
Our faces were swollen
and bandaged.
