Surviving Hiroshima Quotes

“Despite the bombing raids occurring all around them, the beliefs and opinions of the Japanese people were largely shaped by the Japanese propaganda machine. What the news media could and could not say was dictated by the government, and Mom said that appeared to be perfectly acceptable to the people. People in Japan, they’re not inquisitive at all. What the parliament said, what the government said, they’d obey whatever they say. Even I didn’t know that America was winning—certainly didn’t—everything was hidden away from the people.”
