This heartbreaking picture was taken after the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan in 194. The boy was standing there so his brother could be buried. From the diary of photographer Joe O'Donnell, "I saw a ten-year-old boy walking. The boy had a baby on his back. It was very common for us then because the kids played on their backs with their younger siblings. And was serious, the baby was sleeping on his back so much that his head was slightly tilted, the boy stood with his brother for five or ten minutes, a few people in white masks came to him and then I realized that the baby behind the boy was dead the only one wearing a white mask The man grabbed the child's hand and set his legs and small body on fire. The boy was standing there without any movement. " Grave in the Fireflies movie is based on this incident.
