A boy and a burned school uniform from 1945


A boy and a burned school uniform from 1945
Originally uploaded by nofrills.

As appeared on the TV screen, 14 August 2006 - the same program as this one.

A Japanese boy, aged 13, visits Hiroshima for the first time and stands in front of what is left of a school uniform.

The boy in the uniform, aged 13 as well I think, was killed when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, 6 August 1945.

The boy (on the right) stands absolutely shocked. "War" was something real for him when he saw "the boy" of the same age.
