What happened at Yasuda Girls’ Junior High School on September 25, 1945? It wasn’t just another day. Standing before Yasuda Girls’ Junior High School, we’re standing on grounds marked by resilience. This school, now a beacon of education, once faced unimaginable devastation. Imagine the utter destruction in Hiroshima following the atomic bombing. Yasuda Girls’ Junior High School, originally located 1.4 kilometers from the hypocenter, was reduced to rubble. The school’s founder, Ryo Yasuda, was severely injured in the blast. Yet, from the ashes of despair, hope flickered. Determined to provide a semblance of normalcy, the school reopened for its second term. They leased an auditorium at Funakoshi National School in the outskirts. Imagine the bittersweet joy of these students, returning to a semblance of routine after such tragedy. The road to recovery was long and arduous. Many classmates and teachers were tragically lost. But, the spirit of Yasuda Girls’ Junior High School persevered. This school building stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit. We remember those lost. We honor their memory by cherishing the gift of education.
