Japan: Hiroshima Peace Memorial
The Peace Memorial at night,
Hiroshima, Chugoku, Japan.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial, commonly called the Genbaku Dome, Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome, is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
The ruin of the Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. The atomic bomb exploded at a height of 600 meters, 160 meters to the southeast of the Atomic Bomb Dome. Over 70.000 people were killed instantly, and another 70.000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation.
The Genbaku Dome was the only structure left standing near the bomb’s hypocenter. The building has undergone two minor preservation projects to stabilize the ruin, it still stands almost exactly as it did after the bombing in 1945.
