During the post-World War II occupation of Japan, the General Headquarters of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (GHQ) kept a sharp eye on Japanese media reports and publications concerning the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
A trove of over 1,500 photographs taken in the months following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima has been nominated for inclusion in UNESCO’s Memory of the World register.
It has taken 78 years, but the boy in an iconic photograph of him being treated for horrific facial burns after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima finally has a name, Nario Harada.
