🏛️ UNESCO World Heritage Sites | Episode 12: Hiroshima Peace Memorial 🇯🇵【360 Video】

EPISODE 12 OF UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES 🏛️ : 🇯🇵 HIROSHIMA PEACE MEMORIAL (GENBAKU DOME) | A NEW UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES EPISODE FROM AROUND THE WORLD EVERY WEDNESDAY

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) is the only structure left standing near the hypocenter of the first atomic bomb which exploded on 6 August 1945, and it remains in the condition right after the explosion. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, this ruin has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind, it also expresses the hope for world peace and the ultimate elimination of all nuclear weapons. The most important meaning of the surviving structure of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial is in what it symbolises, rather than just its aesthetic and architectural values. This silent structure is the skeletal form of the surviving remains of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall (constructed in 1914). It symbolises the tremendous destructive power, which humankind can invent on the one hand; on the other hand, it also reminds us of the hope for world permanent peace.
