Hiroshima Day

August 6, 2024

Nuclear bomb exploding Hiroshima

Hiroshima Day takes place on the 6th of August. This solemn day commemorates the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. It serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating effects of nuclear weapons and the importance of promoting peace, disarmament, and global harmony. The day honours the victims and survivors, known as hibakusha, and calls for a world free of nuclear weapons.

Hiroshima Day is marked by various ceremonies and events worldwide. In Hiroshima, a Peace Memorial Ceremony is held at the Peace Memorial Park, where thousands gather to pay tribute to the lives lost and to pray for lasting peace. The ceremony includes speeches, wreath-laying, and the release of doves. People also observe a moment of silence at 8:15 a.m., the exact time when the bomb was dropped.

Educational events, exhibitions, and discussions about the impact of nuclear weapons and the importance of peace are organised globally. These activities aim to educate the public, especially younger generations, about the horrors of nuclear warfare and the need for nuclear disarmament.
