Sadako’s statue This is our cry, this is our prayer: Peace in the World
A habaksha’s voice When I passed by a streetcar. I stepped inside and saw corpses. I saw a slight movement, I heard a tiny voice “water,water”. I got out and looked for water. I saw none… Thirty years later, I keep wishing I could have found water for that person. I talk about it with my loved ones and join my hands in prayer. Kenichi Nakano - Survivor

Two rivers meet in one place, Devastated, desolate and barren it once was, But like the Phoenix, Hiroshima rose Out of the ashes, out of the hatred. Today it stands-a testament for all to see. Peace is attainable, it is a hope, a reality that could be. Like a Phoenix Dos rios cruzan en un vacio, Drestrozado, desplobado, y sin vida Pero como el Phoenix, Hiroshima resucito Fuera de los escombros, de la oscurida y el odio. Hoy vive-un testamento para todos ver La paz es posible, es una esperanza, una realidad que puede ser.
