Description: The first thing you'll see when you arrive at the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima is the Genbaku or Atomic Bomb Dome. Only a matter of a couple hundred meters from the hypocenter of the weapon of mass destruction that's use would change the history of the world is a building that withstood it's impact. Rather than have it be demolished in the aftermath and rebuild, the people and officials of the city decided to have it memorialized as a haunting symbol of resilience and the need for nuclear de-proliferation near the very heart of the city.
