I remember one of my teachers stating that after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the residents were required to carry identification cards with either an H or a N on them to show that they had been exposed to the radiation.
I can’t find this anywhere on the web, and if it is true I’d like to use it in a presentation I am working on.
Does anyone know if this was true? And if so, where can I find information about it online? (Possibly a picture of one of the cards so I can use it as an example).
Thanks!

I don’t know about that, but I do know that survivors faced discrimination and people were often afraid that even years later, survivors were ‘radioactive’. The survivors, called hibakusha in Japanese were not only discriminated against but sometimes so were their children. According to Wikipedia, they were given a small amount of money each month by the government, so there must have been some way the government knew who they were, whether it was with a card or not.
