The unprecedented destruction wrought by the atomic bombings defy the power of imagination. Hiroshima's catastrophic devastation makes it plain that nuclear weapons are too dangerous to tolerate. They destroy human beings and whole societies. Any use of a nuclear weapon would be an unconscionable act of violence that cannot be allowed. Each of us must study and convey the horror of Hiroshima and maintain a strong will to eliminate nuclear weapons. Fifty-seven years ago, today, and forever, Hiroshima exists and will continue to resist nuclear weapons and war.
