Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Finally Recognized with Memorial in Hiroshima Peace Park After Decades

For decades, Korean victims of the Hiroshima atomic bombing were denied official recognition, with a dedicated memorial only erected in Hiroshima Peace Park in the late 1990s. Despite enduring significant suffering, it wasn't until nearly 80 years after the attack that a memorial was established to honor their experiences. Bae Kyung-mi, who was just five years old when the bomb known as "Little Boy" devastated Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, exemplifies the ongoing struggles faced by survivors. The delayed acknowledgment highlights the long-standing challenges in addressing the full scope of wartime atrocities.
