Quotations

Jack Davis: April 3, 1936

From the diary of Jack Davis:

The dear desire of all the peoples, is to avoid another horrible war in which their lives and homes will be destroyed or ruined, and such civilisation as we have been able to achieve, reduced to primordial pulp and squalor. Never till now were great communities afforded such ample means of measuring their approaching agony. Never have they seemed less capable of taking effective measures to prevent it. They can yet feel themselves slipping, sinking, rolling backward to the age when "....the earth was void and darkness moved upon the face of the waters."

Tatsusei Yogi: April 3, 1945

Tatsusei Yogi was a Japanese civilian.

People in the cave began to leave in small groups to go toward Shuri or elsewhere. Many people left, so we felt very helpless and lonely. Finally at midnight we also decided to leave, but the bombing was so severe that we were forced to return to the cave.
