Kinuko Laskey, a survivor from the Hiroshima bomb was a 16 year old student nurse in the Hiroshima Communications Hospital which was located 1.4 kilometers away from the hypocenter. She suffered from radiation sickness, loss of sight in her right eye, and had to go through many plastic surgery operations. When the bomb first hit, she fainted. When she came back into conciousness she crawled to a hospital. Dr. Hinoki was the doctor who first got to her and he said that she should have been dead. She was covered in huge glass splinters and they had to be surgically removed. Her main goal after she recovered was to educate and help change the perspective of people who think that wars are inevitable and peace is out of reach. She wanted people to believe that peace is the only way.
This poor woman was an innocent by stander who was
hurt during the hiroshima bombing.
The heat of the bomb was this intensive that the
pattern of the clothes has been burnt into her skin.
