Eventually, he was offered a temporary job at the Hiroshima City Council, where he later became a full-time worker. Although he was told initially that his application was successful, the job offer was withdrawn when the company realized that Takahashi’s right arm was partially disabled as a result of the bombing.
After completing his high-school education he applied for a job in a local advertising company. Throughout that time he suffered constant fatigue, a common symptom among A-bomb survivors. It took 18 months for Takahashi to regain his health after that terrible event and two years until he was able to return to school. This unit presents the illustrated testimony of Akihiro Takahashi, an A-bomb survivor in Hiroshima, who was born in that city in 1931 and miraculously survived the atomic bombing on Augwhen he was 14 years old.
