Tsutomu Yamaguchi is known to be the sole individual recognised to have survived both atomic attacks in Japan during the Second World War period. His case has been documented in history books and stands out as an extraordinary case of survival associated with nuclear war. The atomic attacks carried out in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 led to the destruction and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Although numerous people survived one attack, it is Tsutomu who lived in both cities when the explosions occurred and became unique. His personal story shows how things happened during that period and how nuclear war affected people.
