This is a drawing made by a survivor of Hiroshima. The Hiroshima Virtual Museum has a small gallery of drawings done by other survivors. The drawings take us beyond politics and philosophy. God have mercy on us.


"The most terrible of crimes is to collaborate in the uprooting of others in an already alienated world; but the greatest of virtues is to uproot oneself for the sake of one's neighbor and of God, 'it is necessary to uproot oneself. Cut down the tree and make a cross and carry it forever after" pX from Waiting for God by Simone Weil
