Hiroshima Nagasaki Remembered: The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th & 9th August 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.
Hiroshima Day offers a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of nuclear warfare and the enduring need for peace and disarmament. As we reflect on the events of August 6, 1945, and honor the memories of the victims, we must also renew our commitment to creating a world free of nuclear weapons. Through education, advocacy, and collective action, we can work towards a future where the horrors of Hiroshima are never repeated. Let Hiroshima Day 2024 be a call to action for all who seek a more peaceful and just world.

This event, along with the bombing of Nagasaki three days later, led to the end of World War II but also marked the beginning of the nuclear age. Hiroshima Day serves as a somber reminder of the devastating impact of nuclear warfare and underscores the importance of striving for global peace and disarmament. As we approach Hiroshima Day, it is crucial to reflect on the lessons learned, honor the victims, and renew our commitment to a nuclear-free world.
