Shortly after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945…A boy of about 10 with his dead baby brother strapped to his back, he was waiting for his turn at the crematorium to cremate his little dead brother. When a guard asked him for the body and said…“Give me the load you are carrying on your back?” And the boy answered: “He aint heavy he is my brother”
The photograph was taken by Joe O'Donnell, then working for the United States Marine Corps.
This is what Joe O’Donnell said in an interview: “I saw a boy about ten years old walking by. He was carrying a baby on his back... I saw that the baby was already dead. The men held the body by the hands and feet and placed it on the fire. The boy stood there straight without moving, watching the flames. He was biting his lower lip so hard that it shone with blood. The flame burned low like the sun going down. The boy turned around and walked silently away”
The boy has never been seen again, and his whereabouts is a mystery
In Japan, even today, this image is used as a symbol of strength
