That poor girl, Amy, had so much happen to her and her family. I have always struggled with justifying the bombing of Hiroshima and the subsequent treatment of Japanese Americans. And honestly, I don't think anyone should justify it. It was wrong. 

This graphic novel shows just another aspect of WWII and the impact it had on normal people. Japan was not innocent, but the US was not justified. War is one of the ugliest sides of humanity. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
