An essay by eminent historian John Dower provides context for these graphic images. The site cautions: “Due to the sensitive nature of the images, we ask that they be used with respect and care. Use of the images is limited to educational institutions and organizations.” See also “Ground Zero – A Schoolboy’s Story.” **
