Andrew Wallace > A mother and her two children had been swallowed by the flames they were trying to flee. She had dropped forward on the ground, pulling them beneath her and that is how they died. The children's fingers had dug deeply into their mother's skin.
--Kazuo Akiyama (34 at time of bombing, 64 at time of drawing)

Andrew Wallace > I cremated my oldest daughter Naoko (3). The tears flowed without stopping.
'You go first, I'll follow you!' I joined my hands in prayer. My second son Tatumi (9) was still missing. I prayed that he had fled safely somewhere.
As she burned, the oil in her body gradually flowed out. A huge amount, what a healthy child! So piteous. I couldn't stand to watch, I thought I would go crazy. How could this be the real world? It was hell....
I have continued to live for 30 years feeling guilty towards my two dead children. Forgive me, I didn't keep my promise, a parent's responsibility. (I didn't have the courage).
--Tamaki Ishifuro (35 at time of bombing, 65 at time of drawing)

Andrew Wallace > Amidst crowds of people burned to tatters and fleeing desperately, a young woman came along carrying something important. Looking carefully, I saw it was a lifeless baby that looked like a large piece of meat. The face was such a hideous sight I couldn't look at it twice. But as I watched her fleeing in desperation yet carrying that baby's body, I was blinded by my tears. I saw the embodiment of motherly love, a tragic scene beyond any you might see in paintings of hell. That sight remains etched deep in my mind's eye even after 30 years.
--Hiroshi Yoshii(25 at time of bombing, 55 at time of drawing)
