Today, on the 80th anniversary, people gather at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to remember one of the most devastating choices of the Second World War. Designed by architect Kenzō Tange, the park honors the countless lives lost and forever changed, and carries a message to the future: No more Hiroshimas. No more war. 🕊️ Join us in remembering, and in committing to peace.

We visited the Casa della Cultura e della Memoria, took part in the wreath-laying ceremony at the Sacrario dei Caduti, and joined the many people gathering in the Monte Sole Historical Park.
