Barefoot Gen: Hiroshima 70 Years After
Posted: August 5, 2015
It was a Monday morning, 70 years ago. On August 6, 1945, the sun was shining. It seemed like just another ordinary summer day as six-year-old Keiji Nakazawa made his way to school. Looking up, he was surprised to see an American B-29 bomber flying over head. No air-raid warning sirens had sounded. 43 seconds later, a bomb nicknamed ‘Little Boy’ exploded 1,800 feet above him. In an instant, Keiji and thousands of other residents of Hiroshima were hit by an atomic bomb. Read about the powerful manga Barefoot Gen here…
