HIROSHIMA, JAPAN On the morning of August 6, 1945 the United States Army Air Forces dropped the nuclear weapon “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima. Three days later, the bomb “Fat Man” was dropped over Nagasaki, Japan. It is estimated that over 200,000 people died as a result of the bomb and its after-effects. The role of the bombings in Japan’s surrender during World War II has been the subject of much debate.

ATOMIC DOME STRUCTURE LEFT STANDING AS IT DID THAT DAY AS A REMINDER

CHILDREN’S PEACE MEMORIAL The Statue of Sadako (also known as The Children's Monument) stands in the center of Hiroshima's Peace Park surrounded by millions of paper cranes sent from people around the world. It was built in 1958 with donations from Japanese school children. At its base a plaque reads: This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.

SADAKO AND THE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES Sasaki Sadako-san was exposed to the radiation when she was only 2 years and 8 months old. She was diagnosed with acute leukemia, blood cancer at the age of 12. Sadako-san kept folding paper cranes without sleep at night. Because she believed Japanese popular belief that when a person folds 1,000 paper cranes her dream comes true. Her dream was to live. But in vain, she died after she had struggled to live in a hospital for 9 months.

Chains of oragami cranes sent from around the world to Hiroshima Statue dedicated to Sadako

JAPAN A truly unique and beautiful country that is rich in history and diverse in culture. THE END
