This historic photograph was taken in Nagasaki, in September 1945, shortly after the atomic bombing of this city on August 9, 1945.
A 10-year-old boy stands military stretched and waits his turn at the funeral bonfire to cremate his little brother who died in the bombing.
A soldier from the funeral team noticed the boy was tired of standing with the burden and offered to lay the dead child on the ground. He replied, "It's not heavy. This isn't hard for me. This is my brother.''
The author of the shot Joe O’Donnell wrote in his memoir, “I saw a boy walking for about ten years. He carried a child on his back. Those days in Japan, we often saw children playing with their younger siblings by sitting them on their backs, but this boy was clearly different. I thought he was here for some good reason. He had no shoes on. His face was all hard. The child's head was spinning from side to side as if he were sleeping. The boy just stood there for five or ten minutes. People in white masks approached him and silently began to remove the rope (which was holding the child). At that moment I saw that the baby was dead. The man took the child in his arms and put it on fire. The boy continued to stand still and look at the fire. He bit her bottom lip so hard, it turned red from blood. Then the boy turned around and left quietly."
"He stood firm and straight, no emotions - only tears that were not cried. I wanted to approach and comfort him, but I was scared. If I did, I would drain his power, leaving him defenseless in the face of agony and grief. I didn't do it," Joe O'Donnell wrote in the comments to the photograph.
Joe O"Donnell as a photographer of the US Marine Corps was in Japan in 1945 immediately after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What he saw and filmed shocked him so much that for years he kept the footage in a suitcase, hoping to erase it from his memory. After the war, he worked as a photographer in the White House for 20 years until he was forced to resign due to illness. He had been in constant pain and underwent multiple surgeries, and it took a long time before doctors realized his illness was caused by the radiation he received while working in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In 1989, he found the courage to sort through old photos and show them to people with the sole purpose - that they would never happen again.

A little boy of about 10 is standing military-stretched and waiting in line in front of a funeral pyre to cremate his younger brother, who died due to the bombing.

Photographer Joe O'Donnell wrote in his memoirs: “I saw a boy about ten years old walking. On his back he carried a child. In those days in Japan, we often saw children playing with their little brothers or sisters on their backs, but this boy was clearly different.
I thought he was here for some serious reason. He didn't have shoes. His face was hard. The child's head dangled from side to side, as if he were sleeping. The boy just stood there for five or ten minutes. People in white masks approached him and silently began to remove the rope (which held the child). At that moment I saw that the child was dead. The man carried the child in his arms and put it in the fire. The boy continued to stand without moving, and looked at the fire. He bit his lower lip so hard that it turned red with blood. The boy then turned around and left quietly.
"He stood rigid and straight, no emotion - only unshed tears. I wanted to go to comfort him, but I was afraid. If I did, I would crush his strength, leaving him defenseless in the face of agony and grief. I did not", - wrote Joe O'Donnell in the comments to the photo.
