understand Japanese.
They just smiled at me.
''Give them back to me,''
l shouted.
lt pains me
to think
we were guinea pigs.
us up at school and put us in jeeps.
We went into a room
and stripped naked.
lf you had purple spots
or diarrhea they examined you,
but they didn't treat us.
Even though
we survived,
we couldn't live
or die like human beings.
ln Nagasaki, the government
did nothing for the survivors.
The streets were
full of orphans.
We had no housing or food.
Children were
killing themselves.
Something needed to be done.
Friends l met
at the hospital,
people hurt like me--
burned, disabled,
with missing limbs.
We talked about
our problems
and decided to
form an organization
for survivors.
We proposed that
it should
take responsibility
for the victims
of the bombings.
That's what we wanted.
We were angry
at the government.
So we became activists.
The death and destruction
was horrible,
but sometimes
it's harder to survive.
Most survivors look
fine on the outside,
but they live with
the bomb everyday.
Other people can't
begin to understand
what they go through.
ln Japan, if people find out
you're an atomic bomb survivor,
nothing good will happen.
They face discrimination.
They can't get jobs.
lf they get married,
they could have
deformed children.
My wife is also a survivor.
Thank God,
our children are normal,
but it could show up later.
What about
my grandchildren?
l still worry.
The bomb is still
with me.
l've had 6 miscarriages
because of it.
l had abnormalities with
my reproductive system
and was told
l couldn't have children.
l've had so many tumors.
One turned out
to be colon cancer.
They found tumors
in my pancreas,
tumors in my thyroid,
tumors on my back.
They seem to
pop up everywhere.
Their children,
boys or girls,
will face obstacles in marriage,
if people find out.
This is the reality
even today.
lf you ask me, they're just
waiting for us to die.
Soon, the Japanese government
For a long time,
l didn't want
l avoided anything
related to the war--
newspaper stories,
television shows,
lt's over 60 years
since the bomb.
l can't forgive myself
for what happened
to my brother
and sister.
Not a single day goes by
that l don't think of them.
''l'm sorry, l'm sorry.''
My bones are so
thin and brittle,
they'll break if
l cough violently.
l've shown you
my wounds
because l want
you to know
this can't
happen again.
lt's painful
how people react
when they see me.
l can't change
