Memorials line Hiroshima's Peace Boulevard, each inscribed with the names of those who died when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city. Over 50,000 people were killed on August 6th alone, and many of the victims were children as young as 12 and 13 years old. The reason for their presence in the area? They had been ordered to tear down the homes along the road to widen it. We visit their memorials and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, where the remnants of these young lives are carefully preserved.
