The atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima, Japan on August 6th, 1945 killed 135,000 citizens. For many survivors, the day is one they will never forget. Yoshitaka Kawamoto, who was 13 when the bomb was dropped, recalled finding one of his classmates alive with, "his skull cracked open, his flesh... dangling out from his head" (Document D). Though in war, many Japanese citizens felt victimized by the event as it killed many innocent civilians.
