Leaflet (PDF／272KB) |
On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima fell victim to the world’s first atomic bombing. Its complex interaction of heat, blast, and radiation obliterated the city and took countless precious lives. Those who managed to survive sustained long-lasting physical and emotional injuries, and the impact on Hiroshima as a whole is incalculable.
By the end of 1945, approximately 140,000 people were dead as a result
of the bombing, but what did Hiroshima experience in those five months?
What kind of suffering did its people experience? Where did |
| concentrate their efforts? This special exhibition uses photographs taken
in August through December 1945 to depict the state of Hiroshima and the
condition of its people as the city of death slowly turned toward life. Details>>> |
