Special Exhibition 6

Finally
The 20th century is called the "Century of War."
On the other hand, it was a century of amazing scientific progress.
The atomic bomb, born of the mating of war with scientific technology, has come to symbolize the 20th century.
Sadako Sasaki was just one of many people sacrificed to the atomic bomb.
There were thousands of victims who, like Sadako, wanted desperately
to recover from their illnesses and live out their lives, yet died.
Sadako was a girl born Sadako Sasaki, but she is also a symbol of the many other A-bomb and radiation victims.
Having entered the 21st century, we are determined to make this one a century of peace.
To work hard, to love family, to have empathy for those around us,
to love friends, to be horrified by war and desire peace--what message did you receive from Sadako?
Sadako lived with all her might, entrusting her hopes for tomorrow to paper cranes.
Won't you start now doing whatever you can?
