“What happened at Hiroshima was not only that a scientific breakthrough had occurred and that a great part of the population of a city had been burned to death, but that the problem of the relation of the triumphs of modern science to the human purposes of man had been explicitly defined.”

Chen Jian
“The public isn't told; all they know is Hiroshima. They don't know anything about the Japanese brutality; they don't know that 40 percent of Filipino people were murdered during 2-1/2 years of occupation. It amounted to over three million. They don't know they murdered 17 million South Asians.”
Dan Crowley
“No longer a city, but a burnt-out prarie. How empty Hiroshima looks without it's homes.”
John Ziff
