The Hiroshima Peace Memorial, also known as the Genbaku Dome or Atomic Bomb Dome, is a poignant symbol of peace and a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of nuclear warfare. Located in Hiroshima, Japan, the structure was originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. On August 6, 1945, it was one of the few buildings left standing near the hypocenter of the atomic bomb explosion. Preserved in its ruined state, the Dome serves as part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
