Today: August 6, 2020 at 08:15

August 6, 1945, 08:14 A.M. and 45 seconds
World War II is underway. It is morning in a Japanese town. The city is of military and industrial importance but is not considered a primary target in the conflict as it consists mainly of civilians.
All the people live their normal life. Thousands of them are headed for work; the children are playing in a park or going to school. A plane is flying over the area; it doesn’t look like a bomber, it travels alone and the anti-aircraft alarm is not active. It is a beautiful day, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.
Suddenly, however, something incredible happens: a second sun appears, a sun that releases an extreme light that, with a tremendous explosion, dazzles and destroys everything. The city is Hiroshima, the day on August 6th, 1945, the time 08:14 A.M. and 45 seconds.

Who is Sadako?
Sadako is a girl that lives in Hiroshima.
He was in the park with his brother, a few kilometers from the place of the detonation. The day the bomb went off she was two years old. The shock wave threw her away.
Sadako and his brother survived both the explosion and radiation poisoning.
Radiation caused disease and deaths after the bombing for about 20% of those who had survived the explosion; at the end of 1945 the people killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are estimated around 200,000.

What are the thousand paper cranes?
Growing up Sadako became strong and athletic. At the age of eleven, after a sports competition, he felt bad. She was diagnosed with a serious form of leukemia, a consequence of the radiation released by the bomb. An unnecessary account, silent and malicious, inherited from that distant day.
While in hospital, she was told an ancient legend according to which whoever managed to create a thousand paper cranes with the origami technique would have seen her own wish fulfilled.
During the months in the hospital Sadako made 644 cranes, with any type of paper. Then she died and became one of the most powerful symbols of peace.
The missing cranes were completed by her friends.
Two statues are dedicated to Sadako, one in Hiroshima (Japan) and one in Seattle (USA): every year hundreds of people fold thousands of cranes for her.
