Government vs Individual

春爛漫 by マサコ
Throughout the history of Japan, the government (Tokugawa, Meiji, Taisho or Showa) scandalized the rights of its citizens. And even now they won't take responsibility.
60 years ago, my family lost so many things in the night of March 9th by American strategic bombing of Tokyo. That single night, 100,000 people perished. We were lucky to survive.
Yet the strangest of all is that we never received any kind of compensation. My father lost the house and a small machine shop, where he was making aircraft parts.
