At least until after some thought.  For now, pictures and captions.

The “Atomic Dome”  The one surviving building close “Ground Zero” or as the Japanese call it the Hypo Center.

Scenes from the Peace Park, on an island across from the dome.

A mass grave with the partial remains of perhaps 70,000 people.

The Children’s memorial,

A ceremony where classes present 1,000 paper cranes and add them to the collection at the Children’s Memorial.

Buses.  According to a guide at the site, the number has expanded since the film “Oppenheimer.”

Hiroshima Castle, destroyed in the fireball and rebuilt.

 A modern monument at the port, hope for a new future.
