HIROSHIMA DAY COMMEMORATION 6 AUGUST
On 6 August in the Peace Gardens Sheffield CND will commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There will be a stall and leafletting between 10am and 4pm. The Mayor of Sheffield will attend, there will be an inter-faith service organised by Sheffield Interfaith and there will be opportunity to make paper cranes as symbols of peace in the Japanese manner.
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 200,000 people and that on Nagasaki 140,000 and left others terribly mutilated. The bombings were unnecessary to defeat a Japan already on the point of collapse. Now, as the nuclear powers maintain and enlarge their arsenals and other countries aspire to posess nuclear weapons, there is an increasing danger that these weapons could be used again.
