The Flame of Peace.🕊️
Located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, there's the Flame of Peace.
This memorial is dedicated to the victims of the atomic bombing and to the pursuit of global peace. It's a powerful symbol representing the collective hope for a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons.
The flame was lit on August 1, 1964 and has been burning ever since in protest of nuclear weapons, and will continue to burn until there are no more left on earth.
Today is the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in Japan — 広島原爆忌 Hiroshima genbaku-ki.
🚨 On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 am, the world's first atomic bomb, codenamed "Little Boy," was dropped on Hiroshima. The city was literally leveled, and by the end of December of that year, 140,000 people were killed as a result of the explosion.
🚨 The Japanese also call this day "Peace Day." They hold a ceremony at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to honor the many victims of the tragedy and pray for peace throughout the world.
🚨 Sadly, Hiroshima's most popular landmark is connected to the bombing. This is the Peace Memorial, or Genbaku Dome. Before the war, the building served as an exhibition center. It miraculously survived, being only 160 meters from the epicenter of the explosion, and it was decided not to restore it in memory of the tragic events.
🚨 In 1973-1974, Nakazawa Keiji's manga "Barefoot Gen" was published in Japan, telling the story of the life of a boy who witnessed the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. About ten years later, an anime of the same name was filmed, which reached Soviet cinemas. Grown-up viewers who managed to watch the cartoon in the cinema still speak of it as the most terrible thing they saw in their childhood.
