Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima

The atomic bomb dome at the Peace Park in Hiroshima. Quote from a Wikipedia article: "After the nuclear attack, Hiroshima was rebuilt as a 'peace memorial city', and the closest surviving building to the location of the bomb's detonation was designated the 'Atomic Bomb Dome,' a part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park."

Hiroshima – Children’s Peace Monument

"Believing the old adage that folding a thousand paper cranes would make a wish come true, Sadako tried steadfastly to recover from her illness by folding paper cranes. Her wish was in vain. After her death, a monument was built for peace and to console the souls of Sadako and all the other children perished due to the A-bomb. Today, the paper crane as a symbol of peace has spread around the world with the story of Sadako."
