How could I ever forget that flash of light!
In a moment thirty thousand people ceased to be
The cries of fifty thousand killed
Through yellow smoke whirling into light
Buildings split, bridges collapsed
Crowded trams burnt as they rolled about
Hiroshima, all full of boundless heaps of embers

- Toge Sankichi -
poet and Atomic bomb survivor

Estes painéis são extraordinários !!
Estava a ver o slide show e a pensar como é possível não aprender com a História ...
A memória é tão curta, Lu !!

Espero que estejas mais animada.

Beijos grandes e descansa o fim de semana
