2.27 Foster home saves war orphans' lives in postwar Tokyo

Hiro Ishiwata revisits an underground passage in Tokyo's Ueno Station in this file photo taken on Jan. 24, 2015, reminiscing how she went there numerous times with her mother in the immediate days after World War II to bring war orphans sheltering there back to their house to care for. Ishiwata described the underpass as being packed with homeless people seeking refuge following the devastation of Tokyo by the March 10, 1945 firebombing. ==Kyodo
