Hi steemit

You probably have heard about Hiroshima from your history class. It's one of the 2 Japanese cities where the atomic bombs were dropped at the end of World War 2

This building still remains and is called the bomb dome

We met a man who was in his mother's womb when the bomb was dropped and is now 72 years old and looks very healthy . In fact looks very young like 60. He was there to promote his book

Visiting this museum reminds us of the devastation caused by war and how valuable it is to live in peace. In wars there is only one thing certain, the lost of innocence lives often women and children and for the benefit and ambition of a few individuals at the higher rank of human society

Thank you emilymichelle. Yes world peace for all humanity

thanks for upvote

Sometimes it is good to visit places that have a dark past so that you can appreciate what you have now and not repeat the same mistakes.

Thank you edkarnie. Yes very true. It is very sad what happened during world war. We are fortunate to be born after the war has ended and all wars should be prevented

“Mans inhumanity to man”...there are no words. I must also say that there is a large understanding and now push to eradicate the evil in the US Govt and other places right now. There will be stories coming out that will surprise many. 2018 will be interesting for many reasons.

Thank you floridanow. I believe most people don't want war. But when it happens they become the victims. Yes the evil politicians and corporations must be stopped

wow was a big desaster in the history

Thank you enriqueig. Yes it was the end of world war 2. Many innocent people died

Oh yeah, it's a terrible part of the history of Japan and it's good that there is such a park. The main thing to remember about this always! Thank you @djohan

Hello @djohan,

Extraordinary good photography & one of the huge chaos happened in that area. Excellent blogging.

I waited for you from this post, after you wrote about Hiroshima. This is an amazing place, how many people died. We must save this for our generation, that would not repeat this. Thank you for the interesting post.
