Just after midnight on March 10, 1945, the U.S. launched an air attack on eastern Tokyo, which left more than 100,000 people dead and destroyed a quarter of the city. Unlike their loved ones, Hiroshi Hoshino, Michiko Kiyooka and Minoru Tsukiyama emerged from the bombings alive. Now in their twilight years, they wish for nothing more than recognition and reparations for those who, like them, had been indelibly harmed by the war-but the Japanese government and even their fellow citizens seem reluctant to acknowledge the past.
