The journal of a Japanese physician,
Michihiko Hachiya
Adapted for broadcasting by Marianne Helweg
On August 6, 1945, Dr. Hachiya- was resting at his home in Hiroshima after a night on duty as an air-raid warden at the Hiroshima Communications Hospital, of which he was-and still is -the director. Suddenly there was a strong flash of light, and then another. Overcome by profound weakness, he found that his body was cut and bleeding. With difficulty he made his way to the hospital; and for the next two months, amid the chaos that followed the release of the atom bomb, he kept this journal.
