Tomiko Morimoto was a 13-year-old schoolgirl. She recalls feeling no particular fear when she heard the lone B-29 bomber. "Everything started falling down; all the buildings started flying around all over the place. Then something wet started coming down, like rain. I guess that's what they call black rain. In my child's mind, I thought it was oil. I thought the Americans were going to burn us to death. And we kept running. And fire was coming out right behind us, you know." She says surviving the bombing of Hiroshima has made her appreciate even the smallest things. "I go out the first thing in the morning and look at the sky and the sun and I am very appreciative of everything I have right now. You don't always have that (ellipsis)." "(ellipsis) I would say never let there be another bombing like that. We all have to work towards peace. That's the only way I can summarize it." Ironically, she is not among those who believe that American forces should never have dropped the atomic bomb. Miss Morimoto believes that only a total unequivocal victory by the Allies would have convinced the Japanese population that their war effort was hopeless, that they must lay down their arms and try to move on.
