Under the Mushroom Cloud at Hiroshima
During WWII, 1st Lieutenant and combat artist, Richard Chambers, was assigned to create pieces for the U.S. Army Air Forces archive. One of those pieces was titled “Under the Mushroom Cloud at Hiroshima” – taken from Karelia’s firsthand account of the atomic bomb’s devastation. Decades later, when it was discovered by Kaleria’s son, Anthony, it was hanging in the Pentagon as a reminder of the impact the bombing had – not only on Japan and the U.S. – but on the world.
