This book tells two parallel stories: the first on the morning of August 6, 1945 the United States dropped an Atomic Bomb on the city of Hiroshima.; the second, on the morning of August 6, 1958 an American teenager spoke from the Childrens' Memorial in the Peace Park to the people and the youth of Japan, and of the world, of the need for peace. The first story is one of horror; the second, one of hope. These two stories mirror each other on opposite pages: one an image made in 1958, the other words of the survivors, witnesses of 1945. It is a devastating testimony .
