シリーズ「ヒバクシャの声」今回は 第18回　深堀悟さんの証言を英語で配信します。
As part of the "World Project" commemorating 80 years since the atomic bombing—an initiative promoted by the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Survivors Council (Nagasaki-Hisaikyo)—NBC has been broadcasting the recorded testimonies of survivors in both Japanese and English since 2025.

In this installment of the "Voices of the Hibakusha" series (No. 18), we present the testimony of FUKAHORI Satoru.

FUKAHORI Satoru, then an 11-year-old sixth grader at a national school.
He was exposed to the atomic bomb at a relative's home in Motohara, Nagasaki City, about 1.5 kilometers from ground zero.
His family home was located about 600 meters from the hypocenter. Satoru gathered what he believed to be the bones of his mother and grandmother from the charred remains of his house and buried them alone.
His siblings also succumbed one after another to the effects of radiation, and all seven members of his family died.
He and his older brother, who was two years his senior and had survived, built a hut in the burnt ruins to shelter from the elements. They survived by eating anything they could find—snakes, frogs, lizards.
Despite enduring poor health and discrimination, he recounted repeatedly contemplating death, asking himself, “What am I living for?”
After more than 50 years since the bombing, Satoru began sharing his experiences. He told children that the atomic bomb, which indiscriminately drives everything to death and destruction, must never be used again.

This video was recorded in 2014.
