The Children's Peace Monument (原爆の子の像, Genbaku no Ko no Zō; lit. "Atomic Bomb Children Statue") is a monument for peace to commemorate Sadako Sasaki and the thousands of child victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This monument is located in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako Sasaki, a young girl, died of leukemia on October 25, 1955 from radiation of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.

Our History

hiroshima after the bomb

 

Following the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was reduced to a desolate, radioactive ruin, with roughly 63% of buildings destroyed and 92% damaged. The explosion killed an estimated 100,000–180,000 people—mostly civilians—initially or shortly after due to injuries, firestorms, and intense radiation sickness. 

 

Immediate Aftermath and Destruction

 

Total Devastation: A 13-square-kilometer (5-square-mile) area was destroyed by a firestorm. Almost all structures within a mile of ground zero were wiped out.

Casualties: Tens of thousands died instantly, while others succumbed to burns and, weeks later, acute radiation syndrome.

The 'Black Rain': Radioactive fallout in the form of dark rain contaminated the city, exposing survivors to further radiation.

Paralysis: Medical, transportation and communication systems were completely paralyzed, with 90% of doctors and nurses killed or injured. 

 

Life In The Ruined City

 

The Landscape: The city was transformed into a flat, smoldering wasteland, with only a few concrete structures remaining.

Survivor Experience: Survivors, often severely burned or injured by flying glass, spent days searching for loved ones in chaotic conditions with little food or medical care.

Long-term Effects: Many survivors, known as hibakusha, suffered from long-term health issues, including leukemia and cancer, due to radiation exposure. 

 

Reconstruction and Recovery

 

Despite initial beliefs that the area would remain a wasteland for decades, reconstruction began in the following years.

Hiroshima was rebuilt as a city dedicated to peace, featuring the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park at the hypocenter, with the Atomic Bomb Dome preserved as a symbol of the tragedy.
