Zum Gedenken an die über  60.000 Opfer der Atombombe 1945 wurden bereits unzählige Geschichtsbücherseiten geschrieben. Hier im folgenden noch Dokumente bzw Fotos, die für sich selbst sprechen und zum Gebet anregen

ENG
For the memory of the over 60.000 victims of the nuclear bomb 1945 many pages of history books have already been written. So let us just add some documents / photos which speak for themselves and may be a stimulus to say a prayer. 



ITA
Per rispetto alle oltre 60.000 vittime di questo crimine contro la popolazione inerme, compiuto in nome e per conto di interessi di pochi che decisero del destino di molti, abbiamo deciso di non aggiungere altro alle migliaia di pagine di storia giá scritte per i posteri.
L'unico gesto che viene spontaneo é la preghiera.
I documenti e le foto che di seguito mostriamo, parlano da soli...anzi urlano in silenzio !


FRA

Les plus de 60.000 victimes de ce crime sans nom accompli contre une population civile sans défense exhortent avant tout au recueillement et à la prière.
Il serait vain d’ajouter quelques paragraphes aux milliers de pages déjà écrites et déjà léguées à l’histoire.
Du reste les photographies de cette tragédie parlent d’elles-mêmes.
