もう一つのヒロシマ:挺身隊女学生とRAA

女子挺身隊であった10数名の女学生が、大軍港・広島県呉にある兵器工場の宿舎に寄宿していた。1945年8月6日、原子爆弾が彼女たちの家族の命を奪い、実家が破壊されたため、彼女達は戦争孤児になっていたのある。(広島に原爆が投下されてまもなく、宿舎にいたある女学生の姉妹、モモヤマ・チカコさんは、広島から徒歩で呉まで来たが、被爆が原因で工場の門の前で倒れ、息を引き取った。)女学生たちは帰る家がなかったため、宿舎に寄宿し、工場経営者一家の家事をしていた。

ある日、上記のヨネヤマが工場に現れ、工場経営者に砂糖何缶と外国産タバコ数箱を渡した。その後、工場経営者がヨネヤマを宿舎へ連れて行くと、ヨネヤマは女学生たちにある「仕事」(ヨネヤマが川崎市の女学生に話したの同じ「仕事」)のことを話し、女学生たちはトラックに乗せられて連行された。

女学生たちは、まず、どこかわからない場所にある家屋に連れ込まれて、数名の米兵に輪姦された後、再び同じトラックに乗せられ別の場所にあった建物に連行され、別の米兵の一団にも輪姦された。最終的に、女学生たちは慰安所に連行され、占領軍の衛生兵から検査を受けた。数日後、全員が性病に感染していたことが判明した。

  (原文)

  A dozen high-school students, who were members of the Women’s Volunteer’s Corps, were staying at a dormitory of one of the arsenals in Kure, a major naval port in Hiroshima prefecture. They had become war orphans when, on August 6, 1945, their families had perished and their homes had been destroyed by the atomic bomb. (Shortly after the bombing of Hiroshima, the younger sister of one of the dormitory students, Momoyama Chikako, had made the trip from Hiroshima to Kure on foot, only to fall dead in front of the factory gate on arrival due to exposure.) As the students had nowhere to return to, they stayed at the dormitory, doing domestic work for the factory manager’s family. One day, the above-mentioned Yoneyama appeared at the factory and gave the factory manager tins of sugars and some packets of foreign-made cigarettes. Then the factory manager took Yoneyama to the dormitory. Yoneyama told the students about a “task” –the same “task” about which he had told the students in Kawasaki. They were put into a truck and taken away. First they were taken into a house in an unknown place where they were gang-raped by a number of GIs, then they were taken by the same truck to a building in another place, where they were again gang-raped by a different group of GIs. Eventually they were taken to a comfort station and attended by a medic of the occupation troops. A few days later all were found to be infected with V.D.
