Five months before the United States dropped atomic weapons on Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the nighttime raid on March 9-10, 1945 was World War II’s deadliest using conventional bombs.

At least 80,000 people died, and likely more than 100,000, according to Japanese and US historians.

Nishio, now about to turn 86, was one of the lucky ones. She was the only survivor in her kindergarten class of 20 children.
