The peace flame and the elaborate paper crane displays from all over the world as people call out for peace were also moving.

aBout Hiroshima, Japan  by jHay-Ar    30th May 08
The Japanese city of Hiroshima (広島市, Hiroshima-shi?) is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, and the largest city in the Chūgoku region of western Honshū, the largest of Japan's islands. It is most known throughout the world as the first city in history subjected to nuclear warfare when it was bombed by the United States of America during World War II.[1]
