Girl With Third Degree Burns At Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital, August 10, 1945

A teenage student, working on either firebreak demolition or anti-aircraft training, was caught in the open when the atomic attack happened. Her face was severely burned. Here she lies on a tatami mat outside the Sekijuuji (Red Cross) Hospital in Senda-machi Naka-ku District. To weak to drink from the water bottle in the extreme lower right, she probably died within a few hours or days, as most of the people burned this way soon perished after the attack. Such disfigurement made identification even by friends and family difficult, and many could not even speak their own name because of their injuries.
