The Peace Memorial Hall is located within the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan erected in memory of the many thousands who lost their lives when the USA dropped an atomic bomb on the city at 08:15am, 6th August 1945.
The ‘little boy’ bomb was dropped from the B-29 Superfortress known as the ‘Enola Gay’, a plane named after the mother of the pilot Paul Garfield Tibbets Jr. Warfield was commander of the 509th Composite Group, responsible for the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima on 6th August 1945 and Nagasaki on 9th August 1945 respectively.
The memorial hall is located on Peace Boulevard in Hiroshima and is a reminder of peace not war.
