Memorial for the Korean Victims of the A-Bomb

| Japan's society was (and still is to some degrees) very discriminatory. It is a shame how they treated the Korean victims of the Atomic bomb. In death (and especially in such a horrible death like the one of the nuclear bomb) we should all be alike... The story of the memorial is on the next photograph.... The central cenotaph of the Memorial park does not contain their names. | ||

| In some of the more recent plaques at the memorial site, Japan has started to quietly approach this aspect of their past in a more critical light... Their own 'Vergangenheitsbewaeltigung'. | ||
