Monuments Bear Witness to Tragedy
IInnumerable monuments in Hiroshima mourn the loss of those who died in the A-bombing. Monuments have been erected not just in Peace Memorial Park, but in parks throughout the city and alongside roads by neighborhood associations, schools, public offices and companies.
Inscriptions on graves conjure memories of "that day." Some tell of entire families wiped out. Throughout Japan, numerous monuments silently and mournfully tell stories in stone of the A-bombed city Hiroshima.
