Origami Cranes Placed at Hiroshima Memorial: Millions of paper
cranes, the Japanese symbol of longevity and happiness, are laid
about the Children's Peace Memorial throughout the year; this
tradition was inspired by a 12-year-old girl who contracted
leukemiaand died as a result of the bombing. (Photo Credit:

After World War II, most of Hiroshima would be rebuilt, though
one destroyed section was set aside as a reminder of the effects of
the atomic bomb. Each August 6, thousands of people gather at Peace
Memorial Park to join in interfaith religious services
commemorating the anniversary of the bombing.
