The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (広島平和記念碑, Hiroshima Heiwa Kinenhi), originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, and now commonly called the Genbaku Dome, Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome (原爆ドーム, Genbaku Dōmu), is part of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[1]
The building is a prominent structure that remained standing in the area around the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, three days before the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and nine days before Japan surrendered, ending World War II.[1] The ruin serves as a memorial to the over 140,000[2] people killed in the bombing. It is permanently kept in a state of preserved ruin as a reminder of the destructive effects of nuclear warfare.
Because the explosion was almost directly overhead, the building kept its shape.[9] Its vertical columns resisted the blast’s nearly vertical downward force, and parts of the concrete and brick outer walls remained intact. The building’s durability can also be attributed to its earthquake-resistant design; it has survived earthquakes before and since the bombing.
Huh, ignoring the stripe it has the same colors as the ones in helsinki.
