My Japan 1930-1951

Mildred Mastin Pace

0/5 ( ratings)

“I was born in Hiroshima, Japan. War was not new to me, even as a child. When I was one year old, Japan
was at war with Manchuria, and when I was seven years old Japan went to war with China. When I was eleven years old, we entered into war with America. I was fifteen when American soldiers dropped the A bomb on my city, Hiroshima, and my life was changed forever.” There have been many books written about Hiroshima and the bomb, but none of them has so explicitly captured a Japanese child’s point of
view. Step by step, Hiroko Nakamoto records the changes that took place in her home life, her school life, and the lives of all Japanese people during the years 1930-1951. It is so difficult for Westerners to understand the total upheaval that came to Japan. The comparisons between Pre-War peacetime Japan, War-Time Japan, and Post-War Japan are vividly detailed. The steps, from Hiroko’s early childhood to her scholarship trip to the U.S.A., are described with simplicity and grace. The final impact of this journal will likely stay with the reader forever.
