Makiko Kato, an 85-year-old atomic bomb survivor, poses in front of pictures of survivors' activities to convey the experience of being witness to the horrors of atomic bombs to young people, at Funairi Mutsumi-en, a nursing home for atomic bomb survivors, in Hiroshima, western Japan, March 27, 2015. As the 70th anniversary of the world's first nuclear attack nears, many survivors still find it too painful to talk about. But with their ranks dwindling, others are determined to pass on their experiences to younger generations. A U.S. bomber dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, killing about 140,000 by the end of the year, out of the 350,000 who lived in the city. The city still has some 60,000 survivors but their average age is approaching 80. Picture taken March 27, 2015. REUTERS/Issei Kato
