A pastor recounts his experience during the Hiroshima atomic bombing, including his desperate search for his wife and child amidst the devastation.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was the only person officially recognised as surviving both atomic bombings in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Working for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Hiroshima when the first bomb struck, he sustained burns and temporary vision loss but survived. Despite his injuries, he travelled to his home city of Nagasaki the following day and was present during the second atomic bombing. In 2009, Japanese authorities officially recognised him as a 'nijū hibakusha' (double hibakusha). After the war, he resumed his career and became an advocate for nuclear disarmament, speaking at the United Nations.
