At the end of World War II, Americans dropped atom bombs on two Japanese cities, Nagasaki and Hiroshima, destroying them utterly, and killing thousands of ordinary Japanese people. |
This is the last of the old buildings to remain from before the blast. |
There was nothing left of most of the people at the centre of the blast, but the bodies of people further away were gathered together and cremated here. |
The people of Japan have made this part of Hiroshima into a Peace Park, to tell people how important it is to not kill each other in wars. Mrs Luke is standing by the Peace bell. |
