THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Hiroshima | 6 August 1945 |
Some history: Lewis + Clark College's
Hiroshima Archives; the
A-BOMB Museum; Doug Long's
Was Hiroshima Necessary? | Leo Szilard Online:
Documents on the decision to use the atomic bomb |
A personal Record of Survival | I tried to find
Harrison Salisbury's and
John Hersey's accounts but couldn't; the links from their names do make mention of their works | I'm not passing judgement on the whys and wherefores here | I wasn't even born yet | But we need to never forget it |
Related to the deaths in Hiroshima are the long denied and discredited,
deaths of citizens in Utah/North America who died from radiation poisoning after all the A-Bomb tests in the desert | Thanks to
Pax Nortona for that link |
