Summary
Powerful, tragic, autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of Keiji Nakazawa as a young boy growing up in Japan. The honest portrayal of emotions and experiences speaks to children and adults everywhere. Barefoot Gen serves as a reminder of the suffering war brings to innocent people, and as a unique documentation of an especially horrible source of suffering, the atomic bomb.
