Kiyomi Sasaki was a survivor of the atomic blast at Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. In the interview she describes the blast and the aftermath. She says that the blast was not very different from other attacks, and that she did not realize that it was an atomic bomb until much later. She describes a quick flash of light, like a bolt of lightning close by, but does not remember it sounding unusually different. Immediately after the attack she went home to find no house left standing. She then helped her sister find her two children, one of whom died the day after the blast. She describes the hardship and illnesses she and her husband faced after the attack. They are both in the hospital at the time of the interview. She ends by making a plea for peace to all of the countries that are developing and stockpiling nuclear weapons.
