in memory of sadako sasaki
(read about her life: [link])



US president harry truman (1945):

"If they do not now accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air the likes of which has never been seen on this earth."

"We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark.”

"It is an atomic bomb. It is the greatest thing in history."

"The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war. In order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war. "

"I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth and they think it's hell."


"Mr. President, I have blood on my hands."
Truman's reply: "It'll come out in the wash."

Beautiful. I noticed that the political debate came to your comments page, but I am proud to know that even while many human beings spend their time justifying themselves, others can learn from their mistakes and help us to attain greater compassion and knowledge as a human family. Art like this and the truth is speaks can prevent the horror of war, NOT more bombs. Thank you.

I remember reading about her as a child in the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. I think it was the first book that made me cry. This is such a beautiful reflection of the melancholy fate she met, and also the hope of her character.
