Comment on Japanese students create VR experience of Hiroshima bombingparent

Comments

There's a very simple overhead-view VR recreation of the Hiroshima bombing at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It, along with the rest of the content, is emotionally stirring while at the same time not placing blame or pointing fingers (something I found incredible).

Some of the stories told at the museum are from school kids who were walking around the city during the blast. They walked through streets in intense pain, skin hanging in sheets off their bodies, trying to find their friends so they could pick them up and help them. Some of them were on fire. Some returned to their homes to find their families dead. Those same children grew up and lived full lives, and can be heard in recounted interviews at the museum.

Children are a lot stronger than many adults think.
