Sadako Sasaki
Sadako Sasaki was a young girl from Hiroshima, Japan, who became a symbol of peace and hope after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. She was just two years old when the bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. Although she initially survived the blast, she later developed leukemia, a consequence of the radiation exposure.
While in the hospital, Sadako heard the Japanese legend that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, your wish would be granted. She began folding origami cranes with the hope of getting better and spreading a message of peace. Despite her illness, she persevered and folded as many cranes as she could.
Tragically, Sadako passed away on October 25, 1955, at the age of 12, having folded around 1,300 paper cranes. Her story inspired her classmates and many others to continue her mission, and a statue of Sadako holding a golden crane was erected in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Today, people from around the world fold paper cranes and visit the statue to honor her memory and advocate for a peaceful world without nuclear weapons.
