Japan’s World War II Orphans Tell Their Inspiring Tales Of Resilience And Recovery
Last Happy Moments
Even though the structure is long-vanished, Hoshino recounted vivid memories of playing outside the noodle shop with her little sister. She also talked about an excursion their family took to a department store. She holds onto the precious memories because they are the last happy moments from her childhood.
Hoshino was just 13 when she and her class escaped and took shelter at an evacuated Chilba temple located just out of Tokyo. The United States had just started launching firebombing attacks against Tokyo in 1944. She would later find out from her uncle that her folks and two siblings didn’t survive the March 10, 1945 event.
