excerpt from a compilation of Hiroshima writings:
Il faut juger tout ça à l'échelle de l'Histoire. Les bombardements de Dresde et de Leipzig ont fait plus de morts que les deux bombes atomiques. Les trois cent mille morts d'Hiroshima ont épargné bien davantage de Japonais, qui auraient été écrasés sous des bombes ordinaires. Et surtout, ils ont épargné les dizaines de millions de morts d'une autre guerre mondiale, qui n'aurait pas manqué de suivre de peu la précédente. Les morts par bombardements classiques auraient été des morts inutiles. Les morts d'Hiroshima ont été des morts… nécessaires.
