ジュノー, Dr. Junod

In 1935, Dr. Marcel Junod was working in a hospital in Mulhouse, France when he received an invitation from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to go to Ethiopia as a delegate. Mii and Yuko, two junior high school students on a school trip, came across his monument at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and were curious about who Dr. Junod was and what he did. Suddenly, they were transported back in time to 1935, where they witnessed firsthand the horrors of war through Dr. Junod's eyes. In Ethiopia, Dr. Junod saw attacks on Red Cross workers and the use of poison gas, resulting in many casualties. Despite this, he remained committed to helping those affected by the war and offered his assistance. His work took him across Europe, where he worked to improve the treatment of prisoners of war, arranged prisoner exchanges, established a system for families to write to each other, secured relief supply routes, and provided moral support to those in need. Throughout this journey, Mii and Yuko reflected on their own lives and problems, inspired by Dr. Junod's unwavering dedication and commitment to humanitarian work.
