   Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims

   • Hiroshima, Japan
   • Sights › Memorial

   A walkway circles down to a contemplative underground hall of remembrance, and a room where the names and photographs of atomic-bomb victims are kept, along with testimonies from survivors, in several languages. It was built by architect Tange Kenzō, who also designed the museum, cenotaph and eternal flame. The testimonies, which can be viewed on video, vividly evoke the chaos of the time.
