8月6日は「原爆の日」でしたが、今年は被爆から75年目でした。1945年8月6日、米軍が投下した一発の原爆が、広島市の市街地上空で炸裂し、半径2キロ圏内が消失しました。広島市人口35万人のうち9~16万6千人が被爆から2~4ヶ月以内に死亡・戦死したとされます。また、被爆者の数は減り続け、厚生労働省の2020年3月末のまとめでは、被爆者健康手帳所持者は全国に13万6682人おり、この1年で9162人減少したと報告されています。

Hiroshima marked the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing on the city by the U.S., with its mayor urging the international community to unite against serious threats to humanity. Hiroshima is best remembered as the first city targeted by a nuclear weapon when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb “Little Boy” on the city at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945. Most of the city was destroyed, and by the end of the year 90,000–166,000 had died as a result of the blast and its effects.

The local scenery on the ground of Atomic Bomb Dome and modern Hiroshima is as follows.
