TODAY we commemorate Hiroshima Day, August 6, 1945, when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city. Then, on August 9 another atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki.
We have a duty to remember the victims of the bombing, and to campaign for world peace and nuclear disarmament, creating much-needed awareness about the danger nuclear weapons pose to the very future of humanity.
These two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, although much less deadly than those carried by the nuclear states today, killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people, an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945. Tens of thousands more died in succeeding years.
