Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let your perpetual light shine upon those gone ahead of us.

The pope should also go to Tokyo where more people died and suffered from the fire bombings than the A-bombs, and Pearl Harbor where this all started.

Hosokawa was 17 when the bomb was dropped and described suffering both the physical after-effects but also the prejudice that many survivors experienced.

What's up with the prejudice, Japan?
