Every year on August 6, people gather in Hiroshima’s Peace
Memorial Park (above) to leave flowers and remember the victims
of the atomic bombings of the city. One of the few buildings to
remain standing was renamed the A-bomb Dome and preserved as
a reminder of the damage and destruction caused by the attack.
introduction:
the Site of
destruction

I
f you walk down the main street in Hiroshima,
Japan, today, it is almost impossible to tell that it was
ever anything but a peaceful, tranquil city. Automobiles
and scooters move over tree-lined streets. Lush gardens line
the gently flowing river. Despite a population of more than
one million people, residents and visitors create a relaxed
but active environment. Modern office buildings are a sign
of Japan’s thriving economy, as are the many restaurants and
shops that dot the downtown area.
Only a few signs of what some historians call the most sig-
nificant event in modern world history remain. The Hiroshima
Peace Park is a place that draws many visitors from all nations.
The centerpiece of the park is the remains of a concrete building,
one of the few buildings in the city left standing after the most
powerful bomb attack ever seen. The blown-out windows and
framework of the dome remain as a reminder of what the city
looked like in 1945. The building stands as a memorial to the
tens of thousands of victims. Each year on August 6, Hiroshima
Day, ceremonies are held here to remember these people.
It is hard to believe that fewer than 70 years ago the city
lay leveled in its own smoldering waste, with up to 140,000

reported dead by the end of the year. Thankfully, scenes of

such horrific destruction have not been seen since. The Hiro-
shima Peace Park remains as a symbol of the vast lengths to
which humankind will go to stop dictators determined to rule
the world.
 prelude to
the Bomb

T
he story of the atomic bomb begins in a set-
ting as unlikely as any: a man standing at the cor-
ner of an intersection, waiting for the traffic light
to change. The man was Hungarian-born physicist Dr. Leo
Szilard. The place was Southampton Row, in London, Eng-
land. The time was September 1933. It was while on one of
his frequent, ambling walks that Szilard envisioned an atomic
chain reaction much like a series of traffic lights all chang-
ing to green in rapid sequence, allowing traffic to flow again.
Szilard had a playful mind, and thoughts such as these served
as both stimuli and entertainment.
Szilard was reminded of a novel he had read shortly
before he fled Germany at the time Adolf Hitler was rising to
power. The book was The World Set Free, written in 1913 by
H.G. Wells. In the novel, Wells describes a global nuclear war
that lays waste to 200 cities by atomic bombs. Szilard tried to
imagine the intense energy created by a nuclear bomb. He had
some experience in the theories of superweapons, gained the
previous year when he was a researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute in Berlin, Germany. It was there he studied and
worked with the great Albert Einstein, with whom Szilard
