An atomic bomb survivor said “I have guilt feelings when I think of atomic bombs.”

We held a meeting to hear the facts of atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from survivors. We heard from a man, 83 years old. He was a high school student. He went to school by train from his family house. He walked from Hiroshima station to his high school when the bomb was dropped. He felt sever heat on his neck. He instinctively jumped into the bush. He luckily survived the atomic bomb. He walked through near the ground zero to return home. He saw a terrible sight. But he did not tell us so much. He said he has guilt feelings because he abandoned many dying people, who asked his help and wanted some water.  He couldn’t do anything else. Afterwards, he had skin cancer. He has lived with this guilt feeling on the one hand. The atomic bombing gave both dead and survivor miserable results.

Many Americans, whose country dropped atomic bombs, have had no guilt feelings on the other hand. They think the atomic bombings were fair and right to end the war.

One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. You know the passage. The reason why you think a murder of millions a hero is because you lack victims’ viewpoint. Victims never think a killer a hero.

You should have correct recognition of history. You should learn the experience of atomic bomb victims. Listen to the voice of Hibakusha.
