Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My Mom's best friend was a survivor...she lost all of her hair and wore wigs all her life. She shared stories of the hardships and survival of the Japanese. The US did pay a small amount to each of the victims or their families...I would be interested to see this...what was the name of the documentary?

I think he is very fortunate. Some in the Hiroshima blast were seen later to be etched into a building sort of like a drawing. Of course this depended on where they were as compared to the direct blast area. Others that lived just slowly got sick while some had immediate radiation sickness beyond repair. It took a while for them to figure it out. This was strange because I was told we dropped flyers in advance.

Very cool story. If you'd like more, it was also covered on the RadioLab podcast in ~2012.
