Hiroshima, Bridge to Forgiveness by Takashi Tanemori

Takashi Tanemori was 8 yrs old, in Hiroshima when the Atomic Bomb fell one mile away.  The blast killed his parents, brother, sister & other family members.  Takashi became a street urchin, eating out of garbage cans.

Takashi vowed vengeance but devoted himself to peace.  "My father taught me to be of service to others which is a central Samurai teaching."  Takashi lives with guide dog 'Yuki'. 'Hiroshima; Bridge to Forgiveness' -
