Quotes by Pamela Rotner Sakamoto (?)

“Each person, caught up in the moment, had no inkling that this was the last time this group would ever be together.”
― Pamela Rotner Sakamoto, Midnight in Broad Daylight: A Japanese American Family Caught Between Two Worlds

1 likes

“Harry crouched at the caves’ opening. The stench of urine, feces, blood, and putrid flesh was overpowering. He entered and kneeled over the men inside. Since he had no idea whether the enemy soldiers were dead or alive, he held a mirror close to their mouths. A couple of times, the glass fogged and Harry had the GIs carry out the few who were still breathing. The moment the ailing men were exposed to the brash sunlight, they succumbed”

“Physicians arrived in Hiroshima, trying to determine why so many patients were dying every two to three days.”
