Postscript: The school building was only slightly damaged and was used as a relief center for A-bomb survivors. After September 1945, the temporary headquarters of Nagasaki Medical College (the forerunner of Nagasaki University's School of Medicine), which had been devastated near the hypocenter, was moved here. In October, it was moved to Shinkozen Elementary School.
