HIROSHIMA SURVIVORS

KAZUKO KOJIMA: (59) was born two days after the bomb fell, in a basement 1.6km from the epicenter. She now runs a bar in Hiroshima and has rarely spoken in public about what happened. She became famous thanks to a poem about the birth of new life by Sadako Kurihara who heard about the baby born in pitch darkness in a basement filled with corpses and dying bomb victims. . The poem has been published in English as "We Shall Bring Forth New Life". Kojima-san says since Kurihara's death earlier this year she feels an obligation to speak out. "It is my duty now".
