The real story of the atomic bombings and their aftermath. On August and 6th and 9th 1945, more than 170,000 people were killed instantly by two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness. This is the story of the tragedy through the eyes of the survivors, from the twelve-year-olds forced to work in war factories to the wives and children who faced it alone. Through their harrowing personal testimonies, we are reminded that these were ordinary people, given no warning and no chance to escape the horror.
