Hiroshima is a notion, a landmark, an event. Forever linked to that fatal August day.
For some strange reason, I did not expect the hustle and bustle of a larger Japanese city when I exited the railway station. Hiroshima for the postwar generation is equal to total destruction, to death, to the absurd horror of war. Not a collection of (new) houses, industry, flats, and roads filled with traffic. Nevertheless, this was the first impression of the city. I headed straight to Peace Memorial Park, the place where on August 6, 1945 the first ever atomic bomb was dropped which would end World War II in the Pacific. As soon as you enter the Park, you see the A-bomb Dome, the leftovers of a building close to where the bomb dropped and effectively melted away humans, buildings and almost everything else in its neighbourhood in temperatures of several thousands degrees.
