Fragments of the Incendiary Bombing of Japan

Overview

From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: Nearly 70 Japanese cities were incendiary bombed in the final months of the Pacific War. This multimedia project built in StoryMaps uses archival materials to show how individuals were terrorized, how the United States military was indiscriminate in their bombing efforts, and to share small fragments of each city’s story and how they have sought to remember and memorialize these events.
