Every year on August 6, Hiroshima Day is observed as a solemn occasion to advocate for peace politics and bring attention to the devastating effects of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
This date in 1945 marked the lamentable loss of thousands of lives in an instant as a result of the detonation of an atomic bomb, making Hiroshima the first city to experience such a devastating nuclear attack. Today marks the 76th anniversary of this occurrence.
In commemoration of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States, an annual event is conducted in Eyre Square at the Galway Alliance War.
This gathering features a variety of programmes, including music, dance, and songs, all of which are intended to promote peace politics and commemorate the victims of the bombings.
History will be commemorated on HIROSHIMA DAY, 2023.
The historical context reveals that on August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States dropped two atomic weapons, dubbed ‘The Little Boy’ and ‘The Fat Man,’ on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.
The Hiroshima bombardment resulted in the loss of 39% of the city’s civilian population.
