The Aftermath of Hiroshima
The United States military dropped a bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945. It destroyed a majority of the city and killed tons of civilians. Many of the survivors were left with life-long health issues and disfigurements. The child in this photo suffered from the horrific effects of the bomb. Today, there is a memorial in the city called Memorial Monument for Hiroshima, City of Peace. It has the names of all victims of the bomb.
