Hiroshima, 80 years later #rememberinghistory #ww2history #hiroshima80 #ww2 #nuclearwar #travel

On August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima became the first city in history to suffer a nuclear attack. Countless lives were lost or irreversibly changed. Some in an instant, others over the days, months, and years that followed. Where the bomb fell, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park now stands. Once a busy downtown district, it is now a place of silence, memory. At its heart burns the peace flame. Lit in 1964, it will remain a light until the last nuclear weapon is eradicated from the earth. Every year on August 6, the city comes together for the peace memorial ceremony, a moment of remembrance and a call for peace that echoes beyond borders. Thousands of cranes arrive from across the globe, inspired by Sedako Sasaki, a young girl who died from the effects of the bombing. Each crane a wish for healing, for peace, for a future without nuclear weapons. Designed by Kenzo Tang, this park is more than a memorial. It’s a message to the future. No more Hiroshimas, no more war.

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.
Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

Today, on the 80th anniversary, people gather at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to remember one of the most devastating choices of the Second World War.

Designed by architect Kenzō Tange, the park honors the countless lives lost and forever changed, and carries a message to the future:
No more Hiroshimas. No more war.

🕊️ Join us in remembering, and in committing to peace.
