Photo: richard a. brooks/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesNearly 78 years ago, around a Hiroshima bridge not far from where President Biden is scheduled to meet world leaders this week, a 4-year-old boy named Eiji Kishida was walking with his mother. The U.S. atomic bomb dropped by the Enola Gay exploded above them, less than a mile away. An aunt of the boy who was also in Hiroshima that day recounted what she saw when she found Eiji soon afterward. He kept begging for water in a faint voice until his death released him from agony.”
