Reading this makes me so sad and reminded me of a book I read years ago: Hiroshima by John Hersey - about the first-person narrative account of survivors who witnessed the impact of atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima that morning.

If you have the opportunity to visit, I recommend Nagasaki over Hiroshima and especially these two places in Nagasaki:

Shiroyama Elementary School

Nagai Takashi Memorial Museum Nagasaki

These felt much more personal than anything I saw in Hiroshima and there were zero (other) tourists to interrupt the experience (very much unlike the museum in Hiroshima).

Like the little boy with his skin melted off walking down the road crying for his mother… horrendous stuff.

These stories always have me instantly sobbing, life can be tragically unfair.

That book lives rent-free in my head since I read it about 10 years ago. There's no way to forget some of the scenes in that.
