THIS IS WHAT I
SAW
Page 4
"Since
I had visited Hiroshima on Jan. 3rd 1939 to see a municipal streetcar,
I knew something of the area. I was really curious to visit again to see
what had happened to the streetcars. Many were not on their tracks. They
had been blown into the houses."("There are dead bodies in this car. Car
15." Mr. Makino saw such signs up to Car 28.)
"There
was a man standing, a mother holding her baby, and more people in the
train. It was just black and had terrible stench from the dead bodies.
"(Mr. Makino heard that there were dead bodies, some still standing, in
the trains. It was true. A train driver was slumped over, dead.)
