Taken right after the bomb hit. Complete devastation-
Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims
The Children's Peace Monument
There are hundreds of paper cranes made by children from all over. They represent peace for the victims.
I never thought much about atomic bombs until we visited Hiroshima. At 8:15am on August 6, 1945, the city of Hiroshima was hit by the world's first atomic bomb. A US Air Force Pilot was given the order to bomb Hiroshima in hopes of ending the war. Thousands of innocent lives were lost and those who managed to survive suffered countless radiation effects. Peace Memorial Park is a somber place and it's museum is a reminder of how war can devastate so many lives. The museum houses photos, and other materials (clothes, body parts, etc...) that convey the horror of that day. The bomb dome is all that is left standing.
This was city hall now called the A-bomb dome. This is only building the city left standing as a reminder.
