The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Saturday August 6th, 2022 – Hiroshima Day
Hiroshima Day is observed on August 6 to commemorate the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, at the end of World War II. The bombings killed over 200,000 people in just seconds and injured thousands more. It was 70 years ago this week that the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan, killing more than 140,000 people—more than anyone else during World War II. The bombing annihilated a large swath of the city, including a school where more than 80% of the children who died were between 6 and 11 years old.
