This is interesting, too. On this day, besides Hiroshima, the Spanish town of Guernica was devastated by German bombs. It's another sad memory for mankind.
Hanging in the Rénia Sofia is Picasso's La Guernica painted in response to the tragedy of that day. It's perhaps the most visited painting in that museum.
When we visited last year (it's been almost year?), there were crowds around it. The scene reminded me of seeing the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. People were intensely studying it and contemplating the horrors of the day. They say it's one of the more humanistic of paintings. You see it and you wonder how we could do such a thing. Man can be so unkind to his fellows.
It'll be an everlasting testament to evil.
In Hiroshima, there still exists burnt out shell of the Hiroshima Prefecture Industrial Promotion Hall. It signifies our yearning for peace. Can't we all just get along?

may these images and reminders continue to haunt down the evil in societies and give hope to the world that things will be a ok. though we all hope that it shall be now.
and remind everyone that this is also not the answer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7544754.stm
It's a small world we live in, why fight each other to get ahead?
