Top of poster has a photographic reproduction of a drawing that depicts stylized male and female figures in some sort of courtyard that is in flames. The figures are shown running around in a state of panic with arms raised to the sky and to shield themselves. Below the image the left side of the poster has the text: "Week for social responsibility. / University of California, Berkeley, May 17-22, 1982". Below the image the right side of the poster has the text: "The girl was injured on the chest and covered with blood. / There was no time to lose. We dipped our clothes in the water / that was stored in an air-raid shelter, and dashed through the / fires desperately. / ''Awfully hot! Is this the end of my life?...Oh God!... / Help me!'' I murmured and prayed. / When we managed to come to a safer place, we looked / back at the path we had dashed through. It was the most / frightful scene I had ever witnessed in my life. Yet even at this / safer place, I found many dead bodies lying in the shelter, / under fallen trees, and everywhere. / Yoshiko Michitsuji / From Unforgettable Fire, Pictures Drawn by Atomic Bomb Survivors".
