NAGASE Kazuko (8 years) was exposed to radiation in the A-bomb of Nagasaki in her house, which was located 500 meters of ground zero. She lost her parents and three brothers. NAGASE and her four year-older brother were only survivors. She was sent to work as a babysitter and too busy to go to school. Even after becoming an adult, she found it difficult working with the A-bomb sickness. Just because of Hibakusha, she had been
suffering from discrimination. She tried to commit suicide three times. She gradually started to think she was given life for telling people the horrors of war.
