However, for many years there was a curious gap in the  photographic records. Although the names of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were  incised into our memories, there were few pictures to accompany them.  Even today, the image in our minds is a mixture of devastated landscapes  and shattered buildings. Shocking images of the ruins, but where were  the victims?The American occupation forces imposed strict censorship on Japan,  prohibiting anything "that might, directly or by inference, disturb  public tranquility" and used it to prohibit all pictures of the bombed  cities. The pictures remained classified 'top secret' for many years.  Some of the images have been published later by different means, but  it's not usual to see them all together. This is the horror they didn't  want us to see, and that we must NEVER forget:<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/f641c5k2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/WatchStoppedAt0815.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />All the watches found in the ground zero were stopped at 8:15 am, the  time of the explosion<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/HR43.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Within a certain distance from the site of explosion, the heat was so  intense that practically everything was vaporised. The shadows of the  parapets were imprinted on the road surface of the Yorozuyo Bridge, 1/2  of a mile south-southwest of the hypocenter. Besides, in Hiroshima, all  that was left of some humans, sitting on stone benches near the centre  of explosion, was their outlines.<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/skugga.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/WomansShadowOnBankSteps.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/hiro1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />On August 6, 1945, 8.15 am, the uranium atom bomb exploded 580  metres above the city of Hiroshima with a blinding flash, creating a  giant fireball and sending surface temperatures to 4,000C. Fierce heat  rays and radiation burst out in every direction, unleashing a high  pressure shockwave, vaporising tens of thousands of people and animals,  melting buildings and streetcars, reducing a 400-year-old city to dust.<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/30.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Housewives and children were incinerated instantly or paralysed in  their daily routines, their internal organs boiled and their bones  charred into brittle charcoal.<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/hiroshima-damage.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Beneath the center of the explosion, temperatures were hot enough  to melt concrete and steel. Within seconds, 75,000 people had been  killed or fatally injured with 65% of the casualties nine years of age  and younger.<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/bischof.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/aerialb.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Radiation deaths were still occurring in large numbers in the  following days. "For no apparent reason their health began to fail. They  lost appetite. Their hair fell out. Bluish spots appeared on their  bodies. And then bleeding began from the ears, nose and mouth".<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/13-3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Doctors "gave their patients Vitamin A injections. The results were  horrible. The flesh started rotting from the hole caused by the  injection of the needle. And in every case the victim died".         <img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/15itai.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/52.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/BoyWithBurnedBack.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibakusha" target="_blank">Hibakusha</a> is the term widely used in Japan  referring to victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The Japanese word translates literally to "explosion-affected people".They and their children were (and still are) victims of  severe discrimination due to lack of knowledge about the consequences of  radiation sickness, which people believed to be hereditary or even contagious.<img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o250/sooraj_sankar/f11100a2002.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
