Oil paintings by Motomachi high school students in Hiroshima listening to the atomic bombing experiences in detail from the victims

An oil painting panel exhibition where high school students in Hiroshima listened to the experiences of the atomic bombing in detail from the victims is held every summer sponsored by Sapporo City. Every year, I write in the questionnaire that I want Sapporo City to translate it into English. It's been about 6 years since I started telling it, but it hasn't been translated into English at all. Therefore, I decided to voluntarily translate it into English this time.

広島の高校生が被爆体験を被害者から詳細に聴き取り描いた油絵のパネル展が、毎年夏に札幌市の主催で開催されている。毎年、アンケートに札幌市に対して英訳してほしいと書いている。それを伝え始めてから6年くらい経つが、一向に英訳されない。そのため、今回私が自主的に英訳することにした。(パネル展の油絵の画像は、札幌市から撮影許可を得た)

"Teacher's support"

After being bombed at the telephone station, I was swimming across the Kyobashi River where the bridge burned down to escape to the north of the city. My homeroom teacher is looking back and encouraging me, particularly badly injured in the face among the students.

「先生の支え」

電話局で被爆した後、市の北の方へ逃げるため、橋が焼け落ちた京橋川を泳いで渡っているところ。生徒の中でも特に顔にひどい怪我を負っていた寺前さんの方を、担任の先生が振り返って励ましている。

And this is not pictures book drawn by high school students in the art club, but an art book drawn by the victims themse. It is written in both Japanese and English. Everyone's paintings are honestly not good, but among the books related to the atomic bomb I've ever seen, this book is the most impressive.

そして、これは美術部の高校生が描いた絵ではなく、被爆者本人が描いた画集です。日英二カ国語表記です。皆さんの絵は正直へたっぴですが、私が今まで見た原爆関係の本の中で、この本は一番胸に迫るものがあります。
