来自长崎的男孩的照片

摄影师Joe O'Donnell在爆炸数月后抵达长崎,记录了原子弹对日本民众造成的破坏性后果。 "我看到这个男孩在走路,他大约10岁,我意识到他肩上扛着一个小男孩。 在那些日子里,这在日本是一个相当常见的场景:我们总是看到孩子们和他们的兄弟姐妹一起玩,把他们扛在肩上,但后来我意识到,在这个男孩的情况下,情况非常不同。 他没有穿鞋,脸色紧张,背着的小男孩的头向后弯曲,像一个正在酣睡的婴儿。 在某一时刻,男孩在两个戴白色面具的人面前停下,在那里呆了五到十分钟 ",Joe O'Donnell说 当他描述他所目睹的场景时。

照片的另一个令人印象深刻的地方是男孩的姿势。 他站在那里,等待轮到他哥哥的火化,身体直立,双手与大腿平放在一起,手臂微微弯曲,这是典型的军事士兵的姿势,这表明战争对包括儿童在内的平民的影响。

这两个戴白色面具的人负责在火堆上焚烧因原子弹后果而死亡的受害者的尸体。 然而,直到那时,摄影师才意识到后面的男孩已经死亡。

"戴着白色面具的人走到男孩身边,默默地开始解开绑在孩子背上的绳子。 这时我看到这个孩子已经死了。 那些人拉着尸体的手和脚,把它放进火里。 男孩站在那里一动不动,看着火焰。 他用力咬着下嘴唇,都要流血了。 火焰在低头燃烧就像太阳下山一样。 男孩转身默默地走了" Joe O'Donnell说。

摄影师乔-奥唐纳,长崎男孩的著名照片的作者

时至今日,那个背着死去的弟弟的男孩的身份仍未被发现,即使是一部50分钟的记录片,名为 寻找长崎的站立男孩 摄影师乔-奥唐纳(Joe O'Donnell)去世,享年85岁,巧合的是,2007年8月9日,也就是1945年在日本城市投下炸弹的同年同月。 今天,这个男孩背着他死去的兄弟的照片在日本被用作力量的象征。

据估计,投在广岛的核弹造成约16万人死亡,投在长崎的核弹造成约8万人死亡。 只有一半的受害者在撞击时死亡,另一半则在数天至数月后痛苦地死去。 请看下面这部描述这个故事的动画片《萤火虫之墓》。 如果你想知道其他著名图片背后的故事,请点击在这个链接上。
