Hiroshima City Mayor Kazumi Matsui and a representative of the bereaved families place a list of atomic bomb victims at the Cenotaph during the Peace Memorial Ceremony at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima on August 6, 2024, to mark the 79th anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb attack.
“These global tragedies are deepening distrust and fear among nations, reinforcing the public assumption that to solve international problems we have to rely on military force, which we should be rejecting.” During Tuesday’s ceremony, dignitaries including Prime Minister Fumio Kishida—all clad in black suits—bowed deeply and laid wreaths at the memorial cenotaph featuring the inscription “rest in peace.”
It was the city’s first peace memorial since Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza last year following an attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas on the country.
