Hiroshima Peace Memorial

A monument to the devastation wrought by war and the hope for a future of peace, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome), the former Prefecture Exhibit Hall, has been kept in the condition it was left in after the atomic bomb blast of August 6, 1945.

Ninety (!) readers sent in correct answers, and GERARD BROOKER of Bethel, Connecticut, won the drawing.

We thank Daissy Owen of Iowa City, Iowa, for sending in the photo.
