Hiroshima Song in Peace Memorial Park

Definitely the most sobering time on my whole trip to Japan. It was here on August 6th 1945 at 8:15, that an first atomic bomb was used on other humans. 140,000 lives were lost in the bombing and thousands more due to the radiation of the blast. I came across the Sadako Sasaki monument for all the children that died in the blast. Children come and offer cranes to the monument. They were singing this song when I got there and it touched my heart.

@MrSilvialim i highly doubt any of those kids had anything to do with Nanjing.

@MrSilvialim too many countries have done truly evil things to others in the name of whatever or for some cause. Point is that this city has decided the ends does not always justify the means. Peaceful resolution is key!
