#atomic bomb dome

An Important History Lesson.

We took a day trip to Hiroshima today to visit the Atomic Bomb Dome, Peace Park and museum.

There are very few words that can convey accurately just how one feels when walking about the place. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more moved in my life. I made particular point of reading all of the plaques featured next to artefacts in the museum, telling the stories of their (more often than not) child owners.

I highly recommend a visit, if only in the hope that more people walk away from the experience with the realisation that nuclear weapons are horrific things that no one should ever be allowed to possess.

Humans can be truly horrible creatures.
