My Experience With Dr. Nagasaki During World War Two

In 1965, a single bomb fell from the sky. When it descended into the cities of Japan, thick mushroom clouds formed dooming thousands of innocent lives, as they were desperately screaming for one another. However, 72 years have passed by, but our world still contains hundreds of dreadful weapons to threaten each other. In addition, fewer people are aware of the dark past, were so many suffered against.
Last summer, I visited Nagasaki as a peace ambassador. Although Nagasaki was one of the two cities bombed, it has recovered into the World’s Top Three Night View. Beneath the beautifully lit up houses, the dooming days of World War 2 lies underneath. By physically going to Nagasaki, I could sense the people’s feelings toward peace, and much more, I was able to meet Dr. Nagai. Dr. Nagai fought for peace through nonviolence his full life.

Nagai was a radiologist at Nagasaki Medical school. Unfortunately, he fell upon leukemia when he was experimenting for tuberculosis prevention with the lack of film, being directly exposed to radiation. Knowing that he only had 3 years left to live, days pasted by to August 9th. At 11:02AM, Dr. Nagai was in his lab at Nagasaki Hospital near the bombing. As the bomb towered down toward Nagasaki, he was blown over all over the place do to a blast, as hundreds of pieces of glass showered him. Blood trickled down his head, yet he only covered hos injured head with a cloth and started rescuing others to safety. Soon, Dr. Nagai spent his decreasing days in a house of only a bed to fit in. But still, he started writing about the experience of surviving through the bombing. Besides his pillow, a single statue of Christ was watching over him, as he kept on proclaiming peace from the floor. Many of his books are read today, bringing back the memories of 73 years
