I Saw It! Response

Reading Nakazawa’s “I Saw It: A Survivor’s True Story” was a harrowing and gut wrenching experience to say the least. His illustrations hold nothing back, and the image of people still attempting to walk as their skin was melting off their flesh will haunt my dreams for a good few months to come. While I've read accounts from children who survived the Hiroshima attack, none of them were in the center of the explosion like Nakazawa, and there weren't visuals to accompany the atrocities they did witness. I personally am a very visual person, so his works made far more of an impact on me. It's something I won't forget anytime soon.
