On Aug. 6, 1945, Setsuko Nakamura was a 13-year-old middle-school student in the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
That morning an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped the world’s first atom bomb.
Setsuko Nakamura was about 1.8 kilometres from the hypocentre.
She survived.
Eight of her family members and 351 of her fellow students and teachers did not.
(According to the BBC, within the first two to four months following the bombing, the acute effects of the bombing killed 90,000 to 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 to 80,000 people when the city of Nagasaki was bombed three days later. Roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day.)
