August 6th, 1945 will always be remembered as a Black Day on which thousands of people were murdered and maimed for their lives by the inhuman, horrific and cruel bombing of Hiroshima (Japan) by the United States Air force. The Japan army has been defeated and almost surrendered in the II World War (1942-45). But America had their own plans. It wanted to test the atom bomb and also to show and warn the world nations that they are the mightiest country. It is stated, that in addition to the thousands who died on the spot, there were more than one lakh people who had been affected by the radiation and still continues to suffer various ailments.
Again on 9th August 1945, after three days of the dropping of the first atom bomb, America dropped another atom bomb on the city of Nagasaki with the same loss of human lives and misery to many more.
A memorial to all those who lost their lives and suffered is erected in Hiroshima called Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. A Childrens Peace Monument is also erected there. Thousands of people from all over the world meet there for the cause of peace and to pay homage to those who lost their lives and who are still suffering.
The World Peace Movement has to be strengthened to avoid another Hiroshima / Nagasaki.
