Hiroshima la 63 ...






"Altogether, about 45,000 people took part in the ceremony.
At 8:15 a.m., the same minute the bomb struck, participants observed a minute of silence.

Also at the ceremony, children read out a declaration of peace, promising to learn about what happened in Hiroshima, to think about the events and inform others about them."

mi se pare interesant sistemul lor de comemorarea a victimelor:

"...Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba designated Aug. 6 "a new day for us to decide not to let anyone else suffer the same hardship."

Akiba and two representatives of the bereaved families of atomic-bomb victims enshrined two books containing the names of 5,302 hibakusha whose deaths were confirmed over the past year.
With the addition, there are now 93 books containing the names of 258,310 people who died.

The average age of hibakusha in Japan passed 75 for the first time this year. The peace declaration stated that the effects of the atomic bombing that still affect hibakusha physically and mentally has been underestimated for many years."
