I’ve been to Hiroshima. I went when I went over to visit Hannah a couple of years ago. The museum in the Peace Park is quite a full on experience. It was the National Peace Memorial Hall that was most effecting (img) somehow. It was in the quiet of the hall you could reflect on what had actually happened. Because now, the park and the city look just normal.
