Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園)
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園, Hiroshima heiwa kinen kōen) is a memorial park in the center of Hiroshima, Japan dedicated to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack, and to the memories of the bomb's direct and indirect victims (of whom there may have been as many as 140,000).
The location of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was once the city's busiest downtown commercial and residential district. The park was built on an open field that was created by the explosion. Today there are a number of memorials and monuments, museums, and lecture halls, which draw over a million visitors annually. The annual August 6th Peace Memorial Ceremony, which is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima, is also held in the park. The purpose of the Peace Memorial is not only to remember the victims, but also to highlight nuclear horrors and advocate world peace.
A-Bomb Dome:
The A-Bomb Dome (原爆ドーム, Genbaku Dōmu) is the skeletal ruins of the former Industrial Promotion Hall. It's the building closest to the hypocenter of the nuclear bomb that remained at least partially standing. It was left how it was after the bombing in memory of the casualties. The A-Bomb Dome, to which a sense of sacredness and transcendence has been attributed, is situated in a distant ceremonial view that is visible from the Peace Memorial Park's central cenotaph. It's an officially designated site of reflection for Japan's and humanity's collectively shared heritage of catastrophe. The A-Bomb Dome is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students:
To make up for the labor shortage, the Japanese government enacted the Student Labor Service Act in August 1944. This act required students in middle school and higher grades to perform labor service in munitions factories and the like. Then, in November, 1944, many students were required to participate in tearing down homes and other buildings for the purpose of creating fire-breaks to limit the expansion of fire in the event of air attacks. In Hiroshima City, of the roughly 8,400 students in the national upper level schools, about 6,300 died on the day of the bombing.
Peace Flame:
The Peace Flame has burned continuously since it was lit in 1964, and will remain lit until all nuclear bombs on the planet are destroyed and the planet is free from the threat of nuclear annihilation.
Children's Peace Monument:
The Children's Peace Monument is a statue dedicated to the memory of the children who died as a result of the bombing. The statue is of a girl with outstretched arms with a folded paper crane rising above her. The statue is based on the true story of Sadako Sasaki (佐々木禎子), a young girl who died from cancer as a result of exposure to radiation from the bomb when she was a baby. She believed that if she folded 1,000 paper cranes she would be cured. To this day, people (mostly children) from around the world fold cranes and send them to Hiroshima where they are placed near the statue. The statue has a continuously replenished collection of folded cranes nearby.
Memorial Cenotaph:
Near the center of the park is a concrete, saddle-shaped monument that covers a cenotaph holding the names of all of the people killed by the bomb. The cenotaph carries the epitaph, Rest in Peace, for the error shall not be repeated. (in Japanese it can also be read as we shall not repeat the error). Through the monument you can see the Peace Flame and the A-Bomb Dome. The Memorial Cenotaph was one of the first memorial monuments built on the open field on August 6, 1952. The arch shape represents a shelter for the souls of the victims.
Peace Bells:
There are three Peace Bells in the Peace Park. The smaller one is used only for the Peace Memorial Ceremony, and all other days it's displayed in the east building of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The more well-known Peace Bell stands near the Children's Peace Monument and consists of a large Japanese bell hanging inside a small open-sided structure. Visitors are encouraged to ring the bell for world peace and the loud and melodious tolling of this bell rings out regularly throughout the Peace Park. The Peace Bell was dedicated on September 20, 1964. On the surface of the bell is a map of the world, and on the sweet spot is an atomic symbol, designed by Masahiko Katori [1899-1988], cast by Oigo Bell Works, in Takaoka, Toyama. The inscriptions on the bell are in Greek, Japanese, and Sanskrit. It is translated as Know yourself. The Greek embassy donated the bell to the Peace Park and picked out the most appropriate ancient Greek philosophical quote of Socrates.

Hiroshima - A minutes silence
My own personal minutes silence for the victims of Hiroshima from Hiroshima Peace Park.
The video shows a paper origami crane hanging from the Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students. The crane in the video is contextual to the story of a 2 year old girl called Sadako Sasaki who initially survived the blast. 10 years later she was hospitalised with leukaemia where she proceeded to fold 1000 paper cranes. The 1000 cranes is in reference to the ancient Japanese story that promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish. Sadako apparently reached her goal but died on the morning of October 25, 1955 at the age of 12.
This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.

Advancer #2 Memorial Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims 6/21/2014
Hiroshima, Japan
21 June 2014
An arched tomb for the victims of Hiroshima who died, either because of the atomic blast or exposure to the radiation, lists the names of all the victims of the nuclear holocaust.
There is no precise number of people that perished in the bombing of Hiroshima. However, it was estimated that approximately 350,000 persons were in city when the bomb exploded. These include civilians, military personnel and people from surrounding towns mobilized for demolition work in Hiroshima. On December 1945, when the acute disorders had subsided, the city estimated 140,000 had died.
Since the unveiling of the monument in 1952, a peace memorial ceremony has been conducted in front of it. Names of the victims who died from the nuclear bomb from the effects of it within the year 1945 are entered into the Register of the A-bomb Victims. During the yearly ceremony, the names are dedicated and the Register returned to the stone coffin in the cenotaph.
In front of the coffin, carved in stone were the words Let it all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil.

SUMMARY
=======
During the final stage of World War II, the United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, with the consent of the United Kingdom, as required by the Quebec Agreement. The two bombings killed 129,000–226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in the history of armed conflict.
In the final year of the war, the Allies prepared for what was anticipated to be a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. This undertaking was preceded by a conventional and firebombing campaign that devastated 67 Japanese cities. The war in Europe had concluded when Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8, 1945. As the Allies turned their full attention to the Pacific theater, Japan faced the same fate. The Allies called for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945—the alternative being prompt and utter destruction. Japan ignored the ultimatum and the war continued.
By August 1945, the Allies' Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs, and the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was equipped with the specialized Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. Orders for atomic bombs to be used on four Japanese cities were issued on July 25. On August 6, one of the modified B-29s dropped a uranium gun-type (Little Boy) bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, a plutonium implosion (Fat Man) bomb was dropped by another B-29 on Nagasaki. The bombs immediately devastated their targets. Over the next two to four months, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 people in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day. Large numbers of people continued to die from the effects of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition, for many months afterward. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison.
On August 15—six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war—Japan announced its surrender to the Allies. On September 2 in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender, which effectively ended World War II. The effects of ...

[K² in Japan] Our emotional experience in Hiroshima
A very different vlog than anything else I have ever filmed before. New editing style? Like it? Hate it? Too dramatic? Too documentary? idek but I hoped I conveyed some of the emotion we were feeling that day.
My heart broke as we walked through the historical sites and memorial park. The tears wouldn't stop- I had to leave after only 3 hours. I felt everything. I broke hard. Rendering us unable to see all the sites due to emotional exhaustion, but we managed to pay our respects to the main ones.
Documentaries only tell half the story. I needed this reality check.
Thank you, Hiroshima. I'm so grateful to have this experience. Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.
安らかに眠って下さい 過ちは 繰返しませぬから
(please rest in peace, for [we/they] shall not repeat the error)
This is only part one of many, more Hiroshima videos to come as I begin to upload out of order lol oops!

Iowa's WWII Stories
More than 276,000 Iowans went into military service during World War II. 8,398 never returned. Thousands more who remained at home played major roles in winning the war, as well. The sacrifices of each of these Iowans helped determine the political and social conditions that would exist once the war ended. Iowa Public Television's production of Iowa's World War II Stories preserves some of the memories of those who put their lives on hold in the fight against the Axis powers.
