When the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945, Japanese schoolboy Larry Fumio Miwa faithfully recorded each day’s events in his diary, despite the massive devastation he experienced firsthand. His eyewitness account of the improbable survival of his family and his solitary treks through the abandoned city bears haunting testimony to this unprecedented tragedy. More than 60 years later, Larry—by then a successful banker in Honolulu, Hawai‘i—rediscovered his childhood diary, which has now been reproduced in collaboration with his son, Stephen Miwa, in Gambare Hiroshima—Don’t Give Up! Newly released by Legacy Isle Publishing, the book includes the complete diary in both Japanese and English, as well as historic photos and vivid illustrations by atom bomb survivors—capturing both the vibrancy of Hiroshima before the bombing and the horrific reality that unfolded afterward.
“Larry Miwa’s diary … is an important call to action, an appeal to everyone to rise and do everything possible to ensure that there is no other Hiroshima.”
—Beatrice Fihn, executive director, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
