Himeyuri Peace Museum. A Memorial for the Himeyuri Students. In late March 1945, during the final stage of the Pacific War, the Battle of Okinawa involved fierce fighting between Japanese and American forces, resulting in many civilian casualties. The Okinawa Normal School Girls’ Division was established to train teachers, and the Okinawa Prefectural First Girls’ High School was founded to nurture intelligent and cultured women. These two schools were located together and were affectionately called Himeyuri. From these schools, 240 teachers and students were mobilized to the Okinawa Army Hospital on the battlefield to provide nursing care. Of these, 136 lost their lives in the war. Because of the schools’ nickname, they became known as the Himeyuri Student Corps. In addition to the mobilized students, 91 other students and teachers died in the Battle of Okinawa. After the war, novels and movies about the Himeyuri Student Corps made their story widely known. Today, Himeyuri no To stands right in front of the Ibara Third Surgical Cave, where the Himeyuri students and other Army Hospital staff died. The grounds are filled with trees, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it hard to believe this was once a battlefield. Naha 192

Museo de la Paz de Himeyuri. Un monumento conmemorativo para las estudiantes de Himeyuri. A finales de marzo de 1945, durante la fase final de la Guerra del Pacífico, la Batalla de Okinawa provocó una feroz lucha entre las fuerzas japonesas y estadounidenses, que se saldó con numerosas bajas civiles. Se estableció la División Femenina de la Escuela Normal de Okinawa para formar maestras, y la Primera Escuela Secundaria Femenina de la Prefectura de Okinawa para formar mujeres inteligentes y cultas. Estas dos escuelas estaban ubicadas juntas y se llamaban cariñosamente Himeyuri. De estas escuelas, 240 maestras y estudiantes fueron movilizadas al Hospital del Ejército de Okinawa en el campo de batalla para brindar atención de enfermería. De estos, 136 perdieron la vida en la guerra. Debido a su apodo, las escuelas se conocieron como el Cuerpo Estudiantil de Himeyuri. Además de las estudiantes movilizadas, otras 91 estudiantes y maestras murieron en la Batalla de Okinawa. Después de la guerra, las novelas y películas sobre el Cuerpo Estudiantil de Himeyuri dieron a conocer ampliamente su historia. Hoy, Himeyuri no To se encuentra justo frente a la Tercera Cueva Quirúrgica de Ibara, donde murieron los estudiantes de Himeyuri y otros miembros del personal del Hospital Militar.

Museo de la Paz de Himeyuri. Un monumento conmemorativo para las estudiantes de Himeyuri. A finales de marzo de 1945, durante la fase final de la Guerra del Pacífico, la Batalla de Okinawa provocó una feroz lucha entre las fuerzas japonesas y estadounidenses, que se saldó con numerosas bajas civiles. Se estableció la División Femenina de la Escuela Normal de Okinawa para formar maestras, y la Primera Escuela Secundaria Femenina de la Prefectura de Okinawa para formar mujeres inteligentes y cultas. Estas dos escuelas estaban ubicadas juntas y se llamaban cariñosamente Himeyuri. De estas escuelas, 240 maestras y estudiantes fueron movilizadas al Hospital del Ejército de Okinawa en el campo de batalla para brindar atención de enfermería. De estos, 136 perdieron la vida en la guerra. Debido a su apodo, las escuelas se conocieron como el Cuerpo Estudiantil de Himeyuri. Además de las estudiantes movilizadas, otras 91 estudiantes y maestras murieron en la Batalla de Okinawa. Después de la guerra, las novelas y películas sobre el Cuerpo Estudiantil de Himeyuri dieron a conocer ampliamente su historia. Hoy, Himeyuri no To se encuentra justo frente a la Tercera Cueva Quirúrgica de Ibara, donde murieron los estudiantes de Himeyuri y otros miembros del personal del Hospital Militar. El terreno está repleto de árboles, y la atmósfera de paz hace difícil creer que alguna vez fue un campo de batalla. Naha 193
