A 197-page diary created during the last days of World War Ⅱ by young girls in a small Japanese town. They documented how life unfolded during the war. At first the battlefields were far away, but gradually the shadow of war crept into their lives. Their diary is a valuable record of how war changed the thoughts and feelings of children at that time. This program offers insight by providing a detailed look at their decades-old diary including interviews of the girls 70 years on.
