In 1945, Hiroshima was a city of both industrial and military significance. When the atomic bomb was dropped on the morning of August 6, 1945, at 8:16 a.m., there were 350,000 people living in the city. It was a particularly clear and sunny Monday, and people were going about their daily routines, unaware that their world was about to change forever. This piece serves as a quiet yet powerful reflection on the fragility of everyday life in the face of history.
