Princess 3rd Birthday

Word of the Day ...

Noémie

Today, I did not for specific words describe what I saw at the Museum of the Hiroshima bomb. This museum, which explains the dropping of the first atomic bomb that took place August 6, 1945, is both very interesting and very moving. You can see artifacts that the bomb-which is surprising-saving, which watches that stopped at 8:15 am (exact time of the explosion), a lunchbox and a tricycle. In addition, it contains the remains of such pieces of roof or a chimney. What moves is the fact that "Little Boy" (the bomb) fell by destroying a quiet area in its path and making a number bewildering array of innocent people are killed outright or had a serious disease following radiation. After the disaster, the Americans had promised that he would never such a thing happen again ...

During my visit, a song about peace came to my mind. She is Francine Raymond and entitled "For the love that we have." Here are the words that are most think of the disaster, which happened suddenly one fine day, which meant that an entire neighborhood was devastated by radiation that burned down everything in their path:

"Time,
In the unmade bed rivers tired
Time,
In the silent sky like a big glacier

What song
What season
Calmera rain on the scorched earth

I do not know, Only time will blow

Beyond the trenches we dig in silence, The Wind That Shakes
comm 'in a bad dream, and die
Land raises
Rivers of blood ... "

(" For the love that we have ", Part Words and Music: Francine Raymond and Christian Peloquin, 1989)


Word of the Day of Marilyn C: The viewfinder With tears clouded.

Hiroshima. When you think of this city, certainly, it evokes the image of the atomic bomb in 1945. Cest otherwise dead silence that reigned in the museum of the bomb when we went to visit him. Terror
desolation, suffering, nightmares. How many other synonyms are added to the list? At about the same as there are names on the victims of this carnage, now in a chest in the peace park.
The museum educates us about the problem of how very moving, telling the story of people in particular who have been victims of the bomb from near and far. There are, among others, that of a person sitting on the steps outside the bank, waiting for the opening when the bomb sounds. The victim had to be completely disintegrated, leaving behind a big dark spot, like a shadow on the front steps. Cest
equally horrible when burned alive or childrens cancer cause by the bomb as was the case for a girl who liked to make origami. Today we find these paper birds over Hiroshima and these are the children of a school who were erecting a statue for children suffering from diseases related to the effects of the bomb. Every year, children from schools in neighboring cities of Hiroshima show that they remember and want to preserve the peace by sending these muticolores papers in the form of birds.
But this is not the only story, there are many more ...
one that touched me most is that Yeshito Matsushige, a man who photographed scenes on the spot with terror. In fact, it took only one picture and from this he wrote a novel. The photo is on display at the museum with the note below: Immediately after

of bombing, I Fought With Myself for 30 minutes Before I Could Take the first picture. After Taking the first, I Grew Strangely callus and wanted to get closer. I Took about ten steps forward and to snap Trued Another, to the scenes I saw so gruesome Were With tears clouded my viewfinder.

My teachers and my colleagues in the humanities and I went to Peace Park and Museum of the bomb in Hiroshima on Jan. 8.

Seeing the écritaux in the park, I knew that the Hiroshima bomb was launched August 6, 1945 at 8:02. The bomb exploded 580 meters over a hospital, which resulted in the complete destruction of the neighborhood Sarugaku -cho. The A-bomb dome is the only intact building.

A girl named Sadako Sasaki 2 years has been exposed to radiation from the bomb and died of leukemia when she was only 12 years. His life ended before it even begins.

The Nagasaki bomb was launched August 8, 1945 at 11:02.

It is important to mention that many children exposed to radiation have led to death at birth, developmental disabilities and physical deformities.
