At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, time stood still in Hiroshima. A clock, silenced by the force of the atomic blast, was found frozen forever at that exact moment. Shattered glass and scorched metal spoke louder than words, capturing the weight of all that was lost.

At 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the second atomic bomb fell on Nagasaki. Unlike Hiroshima, there were no warning sirens that morning. Children were in school, families at home, workers at their jobs. The stopped clock remains a quiet testament to lives instantly silenced by human hands.
