Sachiko: A Nagasaki Bomb Survivor's Story by Caren Stelson

5.0

A very sad, but worthwhile book. It follows a woman who was 6 in Nagasaki when the bomb was dropped, and also offers a lot of extra historical information about World War II and beyond.

It is humbling and powerful and heartbreaking to follow a survivor through her life and how the effects of the bomb linger in her body and mind. We need to be reminded of this and keep being reminded of this so that it does not happen again.
