University of Chicago professor to present Hiroshima commemoration in Rockford Aug. 6 » Hiroshima-2

Ganbaku Dome is a destroyed building close to the hypocenter in downtown Hiroshima, Japan, where the United States military dropped the first atomic bomb ever used in a real war. This building is treated as a symbol of peace and listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. At 8:15, Aug. 6, 1945, Little Boy — the first atomic bomb to be used in war — detonated almost directly above the dome. (Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org)
