Best Answer

Eight German Jesuits survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The church was destroyed but the home did not so they survived and the radiation sickness did not affect any of the Jesuits at that time or decades later. I believe in miracles but the priests were a kilometer away in the shadow of a huge reinforced concrete building which took most of the force of the blast and the radiation so their survival without the help of a miracle sounds much more likely. They group was led by Father Hubert Schiffer. The others were not mentioned anywhere.

In Hiroshima, a small community of Jesuit Fathers lived in a church house near the parish church, situated only eight blocks from the center of the bomb blast. When Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bomb, all eight members of the small Jesuit community escaped unscathed, while every other person who was within a radius of roughly one and a half kilometers from the center of the explosion died immediately.
